Thanks for this. I've never wanted to eliminate all pop-up windows, and
this allows me to keep them and have C-x C-b work like I want it to
work. Emacs, org-mode, and the org-mode community are the best!

This is off-topic and it is certainly not new to long-time users of
Emacs, but I found the following discussion of the buffer menu on
EmacsWiki to be most enlightening.
