Well one of those is what's already in the manual.

I personally disagree that the double passive tense is bad here,
but here's another alternative:


 -- Variable: window-buffer-change-functions

     A list of functions called during redisplay when window buffers
     have changed.  Each function takes a single argument.

     For the buffer-local value, each function is called for any window
     showing the corresponding buffer, if that window has been created
     or assigned that buffer since the last time window change functions
     were run.  In this case the window is passed as argument.

     For the default value, each function is called for a frame if at
     least one window on that frame has been added, deleted or assigned
     another buffer since the last time window change functions were
     run.  In this case the frame is passed as argument.
