  24. Maybe, but what if you just stopped splitting windows when there is no
  25. more room (like emacs does when window-min-heigth is reached).
  26.  
  27. To do this you must hack a bit the file .../emacs/lisp/startup.el
  28. which processes GNU Emacs non-X-window-switches and command line
  29. arguments.  For the interested ones, see the function called
  30. command-line-1.  The call to find-file is at the end of it.
