I think there's no easy way to do that right now. The Emacs Code Browser (ECB) for example also creates some 3- or 4-pane layout for creating something many users expect from a IDE, that is some window with a project tree-view, one window for the actual source file, and some status/compilation window. But AFAIK, it does so by advicing most if not all functions that modify window configurations... You may want to look at the sr-speedbar.el package, which also provides one single, dedicated window with additional, context-specific information. Bye, Tassilo
