To be honest, I don't use C-x o to switch to the other buffer, I have
bound F4 to do the switching. So I hit F4 several times until I have
selected the correct buffer.

And I use only one emacs frame with some special window configurations
(e.g. for gnus).
That setup works very well for me, but I can imagine that you have
different working habits.
