I posted about this some weeks ago.  It would be desirable to have org
manage window placement much less, if at all.  Emacs has sufficient
customizations possible for window management, display-buffer-alist
being the default variable to customize.  I am constantly fighting org
and find that it just does not allow me to configure window placement to
my satisfaction, especially on *ultra-wide* monitors.

My suggestion would be to remove all/most window management from org
itself and simply suggest possible settings for display-buffer-alist,
say.

To some degree, gnus suffers from the same control issues but Lars has,
as one would expect, provided an amazingly extensive fully customizable
window management configuration for gnus... I don't think org should go
to that extreme, however.

Thank you,
eric
