I think you're slightly exaggerating here: the behavior you seem to want (i.e. split vertically the smaller window, just because it happens to be the LRU window and because the largest is not full-width), is pretty far from "straightforward". It was at least as magical as the current behavior. It just happened to work well in one of your cases, by accident. Stefan
