If we don't know the target window in advance, then we can't use the window-local buffer-list for `read-buffer-to-switch'. > In my `quit-restore-window' parameter I currently store whether to the > kill the window and which window to select instead.

This means that you need to store more information for the first element of the window-local buffer-list, i.e. when popping the stack of buffers reaches the first element, it should know what to do after popping the last element: whether to kill the window and which window to select instead. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
