I think this change of behavior in select-window is bad and should
be reverted. It is incompatible and does break existing code.
The solution I implemented seems to be bad, but it is not clear what a
good solution is.
The original problem is that
(save-selected-window
(select-window ...)
..)
can permanently alter the frame-selected-window of a frame. I tried
solving it by making select-window not alter the frame-selected-window
of a frame that isn't selected. If we don't solve it that way, we need
to solve it some other way, but what?
One idea is that save-selected-window could also save and restore the
frame-selected-window of every frame. Another idea is to have two
different kinds of window-selection, one temporary and one "for real".
Both of these changes would have major ramifications, and so does the
solution I implemented. It is not clear what to do.
