I see what you mean.  But it will take us some time till we get there.
Alone specifying such a thing would be a quite challenging endeavour.

Ahh.. That hook has not been written yet and I'm not sure whether I'll
be able to ever do that.  In either case: The window state will not
change when a window gets just reused by 'display-buffer' and no
selection takes place.  So can't you simply use 'post-command-hook'
for your purpose?
