I think that balancing the windows should be done based on geometry
ONLY. What do I care how this geometry was reached ?

The split tree may cause technical difficulties to the redisplay
engine, but it should be solved there.

The problem is with `enlarge-window' that can not move some edges,
otherwise there is pure geometry algorithm to resize the windows (see
my other reply).

Ehud.
