In GNU Emacs 19.25.95.6 (sparc-sun-solaris2.3, X toolkit) of Mon Sep 12 1994 on prometheus The function display-buffer doesn't check to see if the desired buffer is already visible in another non-iconified frame. I think it should do so. Perhaps it could take an extra arg to say not to, if that's really necessary. I think it should probably also auto-raise the frame in which the buffer is visible. This would prevent gud from always popping up another window in my debugger frame (emacs frame not debugger frame :-)) rather than using the source window already visible in my main editing frame. I'm sure it would be useful elsewhere too, it's just that I noticed it in dbx-mode.
