A Makefile or some other file occupies my entire screen.
I now do (compile "seq 999")
How can I make the *compilation* buffer now occupy the entire screen
with the bottom of the buffer visible, all with no additional
keystrokes? The hacks people gave me that I put into
http://jidanni.org/comp/configuration/.emacs no longer work as of
emacs-snapshot:
Installed: 1:20110926-1
and frankly I don't understand why there is no
(set Man-notify-method 'bully) like choice for compilation mode.

(setq Man-notify-method 'bully); but q didn't put me back in my initial state:
E.g., with a split window, do M-x man cat, then type q.
Only one window is restored.

The Emacs-23 way to do that should be:
(add-to-list 'special-display-buffer-name
'(("*Compilation*" (same-window . t))))

How about for Emacs-24?

Backward compatibility requirements mean it will work as well.
But if you want to do it the Emacs-24 way, then you'll want to use
(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
'("*Compilation*" display-buffer-same-window))

Sounds similar to the
(setq display-buffer-alist
(cons '(((regexp . "\\*compilation.+\\*"))
(function ; was "fun-with-args" before
(lambda (buffer &rest args)
(delete-other-windows)
(let (display-buffer-alist)
(display-buffer buffer 'same-window))))
(override . t))
display-buffer-alist))
in my http://jidanni.org/comp/configuration/.emacs that recently stopped
working :-(

Do you mean you have a frame with two windows, invoke man, type q in the
window used by man and get a frame with one window?

I think so. I never learned "frames". The problem I see is the same in
"emacs -nw" too.

Basically "bully" (in `Man-notify-when-ready') means
(bully
(and (frame-live-p saved-frame)
(select-frame saved-frame))
(pop-to-buffer man-buffer)
(delete-other-windows))
to pop to the man buffer in some window and to delete all other windows
on that frame. No command bound to `q' can restore any windows killed
by the `delete-other-windows' call. So if `q' earlier restored the
two-windows layout something strange must have happened. Maybe someone
can clarify ...

It never did. I was hoping it would.
I was hoping to be able to see a man page and then have it go away
without side effects... Of course I never learned frames so I suppose
this is not a problem for most people.
I was also hoping to get a M-x compile command that would act like
'bully... I mentioned that in another bug.

Indeed. You could try by setting `pop-up-frames' to t and see whether
it breaks too many of your earlier editing habits. If it does, you
might want to add all relevant buffer names (or suitable regexps) to
`special-display-buffer-names' (`special-display-regexps') and look
whether that solves your problems.

Same here. You don't really want to use the same frame. You want to
use another frame and that should intuitively work well for text-only
terminals too.

Hmmm, aside from the scary flash upon the birth of the new window, I
think this is the greatest thing that has happened to me emacs-wise
since the 1980's. Speaking of which, here is a song,

I'll try the pop-up-frames mentioned in Bug #9641, and reopen if still
having problems.

That's using a format of display-buffer-alist which we don't use any
more (i.e. it was only installed temporarily on the trunk and then
replaced by something else).
