I'll explain : If you're editing a c file and called
manual-entry(current-word) then the default setting was to open a new
buffer and leave focus in the c file. I was trying to programmatically
jump to the new buffer after calling manual-entry. But a call to
switch-to buffer when there are *2* buffers open, brings the manual
buffer into the current buffer - so suddenly there are 2 visible buffers
showing the same manpage.
