Re: Preserving window layout (follow up)

[Matthew Calhoun <calhounm@mac.com>]

Thanks for all the suggestions. I found a really helpful function that 
I'm surprised nobody mentioned, though: set-window-dedicated-p prevents 
Emacs from messing with a particular window. I wound up writing a small 
function that sets up my windows as described, calls this function for 
the shell window, and then calls the window-configuration-to-register 
function that Johan mentioned. Seems to work pretty well.

Thanks again,
Matt
