Hmm - on a couple of different versions of emacs and Xemacs I have here C-x o
is bound to other-window, which just cycles between open windows, which is not
what was asked for. I looked at all the commands which mention buffer and I didn't
see anything suitable. It'd be a simple hack in Lisp, and I'm puzzled that no-one
seems to have done it before, though personally I use the buffer list or the drop-down
menu.
