If a buffer name matches one of these regexps, it gets its own frame. Displaying a buffer whose name is in this list makes a special frame for it using `special-display-function'. An element of the list can be a list instead of just a string. There are two ways to use a list as an element: (REGEXP FRAME-PARAMETERS...) (REGEXP FUNCTION OTHER-ARGS...) In the first case, FRAME-PARAMETERS are used to create the frame. It works only half way, emacs opens up matching buffers in a new frame, but the supplied frame parameters is not applied. What am I doing wrong? I have loaded emacs using --no-init-file and --no-site-file but to no avail. /Mathias
