I'm not a lisp expert, somewhere I found a way that works for me:
(setq special-display-buffer-names
'("*compilation*" "*grep*"))
to configure size and position of a new frame you can use something
like this:
(setq special-display-frame-alist
(append (list '(top . 480 ) '(left . 200) '(height . 20) '(width .
100)
'(menu-bar-lines . 0) '(minibuffer . t))
For xemacs it's slightly different:
(let ((plist '(height 20 width 100 unsplittable t
default-toolbar-visible-p nil menubar-visible-p nil)))
(setq special-display-buffer-names
`(("*compilation*" ,@plist))))
Hope this helps
