That's the problem. I've tried this already, and as soon as I have
some integer (0, for example) in `split-height-threshold' the first
split by `split-window-sensibly' is vertical one, i.e.
+-----+

+-----+
| |
+-----+
but I want a horizontal split first
+--+--+
| | |
| | |
| | |
+--+--+
maybe even further (if the size of the monitor permits)
+--+--+--+
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
+--+--+--+
and only then vertical splits should start.
Concerning
(setq split-height-threshold nil)
as you said, this one forbids vertical splits completely which is also
something I don't like.
Kind regards,
Alexander
