IMHO the only way to do that is to (1) provide a new set of variables Elisp code _is_ allowed to change and (2) have `display-buffer' use these iff the respective buffer has no corresponding entry in the special-display-... options. If I do that and a buffer is now in the (same-window . t) group of `special-display-regexps', how should `Buffer-menu-switch-other-window' proceed with that buffer? Bind `special-display-regexps'? Call `switch-to-buffer-other-window'? So far the special-display-... options had an excuse: If this variable appears \"not to work\", ... > 2- declare the variable obsolete. > 3- Tada! martin
