Thanks for testing.  I expected you to find a show-stopper earlier.  Do
you mean that 24 lines is to small for a new window (many popped up
windows here are only a few lines tall).

The new ones are not nil.  `display-buffer-regexps' specifies them as 24
lines and 60 columns for the new window which obviously don't match the
defaults of the trunk.  So please change the default values of the
min-height and min-width specifiers in `display-buffer-regexps'

  '(((".*")
     same-frame
     (reuse-buffer-window . nil)
     (new-window (largest . nil) (lru . nil))
     (min-height . 24) (min-width . 60)
     (even-window-sizes . t)
     other-frame
     (reuse-buffer-window . visible)
     (graphic-only . t)
     (popup-frame-alist
      (height . 24) (width . 80) (unsplittable . t))))

to something more reasonable and tell me about the next show-stopper you
encounter.

Thanks, martin
