bug#37840: Missing in the Emacs manuals:

[Konrad Podczeck <konrad.podczeck@univie.ac.at>]

The patch does not do the job. With the customization from my previous mail, start Emacs, open, say, foo.tex, and then do occur->some text. In the frame with the occur buffer, do bury buffer, so that the frame with the occur-buffer becomes iconified, so everything is good up to now. But then, doing bury buffer in the frame displaying foo.tex, the message-buffer displays in that frame, then doing again bury-buffer in that frame, the occur-buffer shows up, again in the frame originally intended for foo.tex, that is in the wrong frame, i.e., not as intended with the display-buffer-alist customization.

Would it not be better to adopt a more radical approach? Say that there are two basic defaults between which a user can choose: one as it is now, and a second one where there is a strict one-to-one correspondence between buffers and frames (i.e., in the terminology of Emacs, with no “windows” at all). Given the second basis default, the user could then customize whether for some buffer-types he/she wants to have them displayed in windows, or, depending on the buffer-type, customize geometry, fonts etc. of frames.
