Exactly. "B" is the "*compilation*" buffer in my case. I need two
things from the window:
1) The window should be dedicated to *compilation*
2) The window should stick at the bottom
The size isn't really important, since I change it frequently anyway.
I agree that window-dedicated-p only promises me the first, but Emacs
21 gave me the second and Emacs 22 doesn't. This make Emacs 22 less
useful and I reported the problem.
A window-local "unsplittable" flag that I can set could probably help.
I'm attaching the actual code I'm using, although the simple test case
I gave you shows the change.
Put these three files in your load-path and load compile-window. Then
run a compilation with M-x compile. You'll get a *compilation* window
that you can resize with "C-c ." which sticks to the bottom and stays
there.
