For example, say that I have a file text.tex open in two frames since I want to work on two different locations of it via comparison/cut&paste/whatever. Now I type M-x gnus RET, read news and quit again. As a consequence, a totally unrelated buffer pops up. And of course, when I get back the buffer again (which is not the default offered), the window point is lost and replaced by that of the other frame that is still on. That is quite a nuisance. Are there some ways to make a two-view setup less ephemeral? -- David Kastrup
