That's what I wind up doing as well, but I'm sympathetic to xioni's 
question.  There are times it interferes with my ability to have two 
windows side-by-side looking at the same buffer for editing purposes. 
I generally wind up going to the buffer and splitting it, but my 
muscle memory doesn't run into problems like that when using emacs in 
a remote linux console.
