bug#37840: Missing in the Emacs manuals:

[Konrad Podczeck]

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.
