There are two bugs.  The first one is that splitting a root window with
side windows is always an error unless a new side window on another side
should be made.  This should be fixed by the attached patch.

The second bug is that the 'split-root-window-...' functions probably
should split 'window-main-window' on that frame instead.  I'd rather
leave the fix for that to the people who wrote those functions.
