Not easily given the current implementation.  I've pushed a patch that

let me know what you think: it's kind of ugly, i think.  To do this
properly the buffer should pop-up if there's an error starting the REPL,
but that's again harder to implement.  And then all this is a bit
against the grain of Geiser's philosophy as a REPL-centric world with
long time living emacs and scheme processes, rather than something that
one starts and closes frequently.

Thoughts?

Thanks very much for the patch; I'll try it and report back. I agree in general, but here I'm not really using geiser: it's just being started to help eldoc. In this case, it should be invisible.

With the patch, I get exactly what I'm after (I suppose in a perfect world the REPL buffer would never appear, but the main thing is that the final window layout is what I expect!). Thanks again.
