Yes. Maybe somethink like walk-${whatever-feature-it-is-called}

yes... I think so.

hm. good question. Maybe this is necessary.

I think it depends. I think the following layouts could be used.
Showing a special window in the WEST position...
---------------------
| S | |
| P | |
| E | |
| C | |
| I | |
| A | |
| L | |
--------------------
Showing a special window in the SOUTH position... This could be good for
compiler messages that a user wants to keep around. Granted we can basically do
this already but one may wish to have a SPECIAL window in this location.

sounds good :)

Ah. good idea.
