Cool.

Ok good to know, thanks, however I have removed the variable that was
handling that, and I can manage splitting the windows in helm only using
`split-window-preferred-function' following your advice (I use a
specialized function for this).

Also, I have noticed that window-right/left can also handle vertical
splitting (I.e I was looking for something like window-above/bottom and
I discover that window-right/left do this).
Maybe that can be documented somewhere?

Thanks for your help.
