My personal preference would be for compilation-start to not override my setting of display-buffer-reuse-frames, but perhaps there should be a new user variable in compile.el to control this behavior. To give you an idea of why I encountered this: I use emacs' grep.el a lot, which uses compile.el for its buffer output. I wanted to make the `*grep*' buffer always appear in the selected frame, instead of raising another frame is already displaying the *grep* buffer. What do you think? John Foerch
