In 'display-buffer' first save the selected window as
old-selected-window, display the buffer and in your code select
old-selected-window instead of (old-selected-window).

Better, rename "select-window" to "window-to-select" so grepping won't
confuse it with a 'select-window' call and allow for an arbitrary window
(or even buffer, but there could be two windows showing the same buffer)
to use as the finally selected window in 'display-buffer'.  And maybe
have 'pop-to-buffer' and friends pass (select-window . t) instead of
calling 'select-window' themselves and think of what has to happen when
the window made or used by 'display-buffer' is on another frame that
should be (de-)selected.
