One more argument against using 'window-state-change-functions' or the
like.  Selecting the minibuffer window would count as a state change
and immediately reinstall the previous overriding action.

Rather, the function on 'post-command-hook' would have to be more
intelligent - check whether the minibuffer-window is selected and
leave the overriding action untouched in that case.  Moreover, using
'post-command-hook' would automatically fix any problems when quitting
an S-M-up action.  I see no way to catch quitting via a state change
of windows.
