OK.  It does not work for me.

I did not do so explicitly, AFAIK.  But perhaps read-from-minibuffer (actually
the C code for it) does that?  I do not see anywhere that I do so in my code.

Yes, I'm pretty sure.  I can always try to look closer, but there is certainly
nothing in oneonone.el that does that.

What do you think about it now?  Do you see a problem with it (aside from the
current-buffer problem I mentioned)?  Maybe it is worth pursuing; dunno.
