Attached is a patch for a new contrib: slime-typeout-buffer. It does the same as slime-typeout-frame, but is configurable with standard (GNU) Emacs variables.

For example, I have the following in special-display-regexps (different height, pin frame to top):

'(("^\*SLIME Typeout\*$" (height . 20) (top . 0) (minibuffer . nil)) ...)

Another interesting effect can be achieved by adding (same-frame . t) and advising display-buffer to shrink the typeout frame to just a few lines.

To install, replace slime-typeout-frame with slime-typeout-buffer in slime-setup's list of contribs.

Cheers, Michael
