locking buffer windows in a frame

locking buffer windows in a frame

[Burton Samograd]

I'm wondering if there is any elisp code, function or variable I might
be able to set to keep gnus from taking over the whole screen when I
enter and leave groups.  I would like to have my screen split in two
vertically, with gnus on the left and something else on the right, but
gnus keeps taking the whole thing over.  I'm thinking a possible
function like 'lock-window-positions' or something of that sort?

Any hints?

(info "(gnus)Window Layout")

      If `gnus-use-full-window' non-`nil', Gnus will delete all other
      windows and occupy the entire Emacs screen by itself. It is `t'
      by default.

      Setting this variable to `nil' kinda works, but there are
      glitches. Use at your own peril.
