And here, many thanks.  (I did not rebuild Emacs in my previous
test.)

However, I'm having problems with LaTeX/AUCTeX [0] output buffers.
I'm currently using this obsolete (but working) setting:
(setq special-display-regexps '(".* output"))

Now, when replacing "\\*text\\*" with ".* output" in the above
recipe, compiling a tex file (C-c C-c), and pressing C-c C-l to
display the LaTeX output, a new frame gets created but is split in
half: The lower half showing the tex source (and containing the
cursor), the upper with output.  I expected the output in the entire
frame.

As this requires AUCTeX, I don't see a simple test case.
Besides, I won't have time for further tests this week.

Here is my basic configuration for emacs -Q (assuming that AUCTeX is
installed from ELPA via list-packages):

(package-initialize)
(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(customize-set-variable 'display-buffer-alist
			'((".* output"
			   (display-buffer-reuse-window display-buffer-pop-up-frame)
			   (reusable-frames . t))
			  ))
(setq display-buffer-mark-dedicated t)


Best wishes
Jens
