I looked at the gdb-9 branch.  In tui_adjust_win_heights, it is code
like this:

		  locator->resize (1, width,
				   0, (second_win->origin.y
				       + second_win->height + 1));

You and Simon discussed this down-thread.  FWIW the name "locator" has
been used in the source since the beginning; but I also don't
particularly care for it (for a long time I could never remember the
name and had to search to find it whenever I needed it).  So, I would
appreciate a rename in the code here as well.

Also, thanks for pointing out that this is called "status" in the docs.
That affects my other series to make user-specified layouts.  In that
series I called the window "locator" -- but I'm going to go rename it.

Eli> TUI_CMD_WIN-> origin.y = locator->origin.y + 1;

This is a leftover and should be removed.  The resize method is the way
to modify a window's size and position.

This code is all different on git master.

Your patch looks reasonable to me.
