Four variables should be made obsolete by display-buffer-alist: same-window-buffer-names, same-window-regexps, special-display-regexps, and special-display-buffer-names. The rest should be made obsolete by display-buffer-default-rule (or by the RULE (formerly NOT-THIS-WINDOW) arg of display-buffer): pop-up-frames, pop-up-windows, display-buffer-mark-dedicated, display-buffer-reuse-frames, probably a few more. I also think that special-display-function can be marked obsolete, not because something superceded it, but because I don't think anyone ever used it. Stefan
