There's never a solution to this problem that would satisfy all unfortunately! My own solution is to have a frame for each different working area so I don't have to worry about window arrangements generally. E.g. I have one frame for gnus, one or more for agenda (& related), and one each for any documents I may be working on (code or org or both). It helps to use a tiling window manager... but YMMV of course! -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 28.0.50 & org 9.3.7 on Debian bullseye/sid
