This was intended to address different requests.  So far the requests
were: to highlight the background of the selected window, to highlight
the selected minibuffer window, and to highlight the non-selected
active minibuffer.  The last case actually is more complex:
the non-selected minibuffer should not be highlighted
when the Completions window is selected.  Only after moving point
out of both the minibuffer and the Completions window, the minibuffer
window should be highlighted.
