BTW you can evaluate any function or form, e.g. split-window-below (C-x
2), split-window-right (C-x 3) or other-window (C-x o), to build an
arbitrary window configuration after startup.
(run-at-time
nil nil
(lambda ()
(split-window-below)
(switch-to-buffer (save-window-excursion
(org-todo-list)
(current-buffer)))
(other-window 1)
(switch-to-buffer (with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "<3")
(insert "RMS")
(current-buffer)))))
I use run-at-time so the configuration is set after Emacs messes with
the window configuration due to initial-buffer-choice. Emacs does this
after running after-init-hook.
