That too.

Well, let me ask a practical question to see what I can do with
your new features:

Basically I'm fine with the traditional two-windows emacs, I just
want *Compilation* and *grep* have their own (third) window.  This
additional window should be on a second frame placed on the right
screen side with say 40% width and 60% height.  Like this:

   +--------------screen-------------+
   | +---1.frame---+ +--2.frame--+   |
   | |             | |           |   |
   | |  files      | |  compile  |   |
   | |             | |  grep     |   |
   | |             | |           |   |
   | |             | |           |   |
   | |             | +-----------+   |
   | |             |                 |
   | |             |                 |
   | +-------------+                 |
   +---------------------------------+

So when I hit the "compile" key I want the second frame to open unless
it is already open and I want the compilation output go to this frame.

Plus, when I click on a compilation error line, I want this file being
shown in the first frame, replacing whatever there is.

How do I get this?

Thanks,
