This won't work well in one particular case (Michael Heerdegen recently mentioned it on Emacs-help and I try to recall what he wrote): Suppose when switching to a file interactively via `find-file' you set `display-buffer-overriding-action' to some value for displaying the file. Now that command might pop up a window for completing the filename calling `display-buffer' in a nested fashion. Should that call adhere to `display-buffer-overriding-action` or, as probably expected, use the built-in or user-defined behavior for the *Completions* buffer? martin
