It's perfect.

Actually, it's the only standard CEDET/ECB specific feature I
implemented by default.  With ECB, windows outside the editing area are
persistent, you can't even delete them via ‘delete-window’ IIRC.  This,
or having ‘other-window’ skip side windows, must be specified explicitly
with the side windows approach.

I'll add an option to make this easily customizable.
