Hi,

  I think it would be good to modify speedbar to make this sort of
thing easier.  I think ECB has similar problems when it integrates
speedbar into its display set.

  Speedbar was built on top of dframe.el.  dframe.el was meant to be a
utility any "auto updating in a frame" tool could use.  I don't think
any other such tools were written though.  dframe.el seems like the
place to add specialized window management code instead of speedbar.

Eric
