    get-buffer-window currently favors returning the selected-window (if it
    shows the requested buffer, of course) over other windows.

    I think this should be extended so that if the selected-window doesn't show
    the buffer, but some other window on the selected frame does show it, that
    window should be picked in preference to other windows on other frames.

    Any objection to the patch below?

It may be a good idea, but since it isn't a bug fix and isn't crucial,
please save it for after the release.
