You are right that `get-lru-window' seems not to do the right thing in
effect (it evaluates to the currently selected window even though there
is another one in the frame). `select-window' seems not to be called in
`walk-windows' as used by linum though, since the third argument is not
a frame. I found that when you set `window-configuration-change-hook' to
nil in *scratch* before `switch-to-buffer-other-window', it chooses the
right buffer. I do not yet know if/where use_time changes.
