You can save the selected window, call 'select-window', run your code,
call 'select-window' with the previously selected window again.  Or have
a look at 'window-selection-change-functions'.  If you told me what your
code is supposed to do within 'with-selected-window', I might be able to
give you further advice.  As a rule, both 'save-window-excursion' and
'with-selected-window' should be avoided, if possible.
