What precisely failed? I didn't look at it but it hooks in at a lower level (namely that of `display-buffer-function') so it should still work with Emacs 24. > I would still like to see a proper example of elisp code setting the > display-buffer-alist. Elisp code should not do that. `display-buffer-alist' is reserved for users as in (customize-set-variable 'display-buffer-alist '((".*" . (display-buffer-same-window . nil)))) Unfortunately, so far there's no common agreement on what the ALIST argument of `display-buffer-same-window' is supposed to accomplish. martin
