I think that this is not correct. From the vim help file:

:q[uit]			Quit the current window.  Quit Vim if this is the last
			window.  This fails when changes have been made and
			Vim refuses to |abandon| the current buffer, and when
			the last file in the argument list has not been
			edited.
			If there are other tab pages and quitting the last
			window in the current tab page the current tab page is
			closed |tab-page|.

Anyhow I really would like to be able to :wq without loosing emacs. I
don't think one can thing that this can only be achieved by :w
followed by :bd

So please advise about how to setup so that :q quits the current
buffer, preferably without changing my window configuration.

TIA, guivho.
