So you're implying that Emacs 23 fixes exactly that, or that it
reworks the buffer selection interface completely?

Actually I still use Emacs 21. Emacs 22 is also available as part of
Debian Linux, but I gain more by sticking to 21, which is the one
available at work (semi-officially available -- officially we are
stuck with 20).

So, this annoyance of mine isn't so important that I'm willing to
upgrade to Emacs 23 everywhere just yet.
