Have a look at winner.el, which is part of Gnu Emacs. `winner-undo'
should do what you want. It is very handy when it's on a good key, I
use it all the time.
Basically, winner.el is about window configurations, but since changing
a window's buffer is regarded as a change of the window
configuration... calling `winner-undo' gives you the previously shown
buffer in that window. Moreover, winner.el also records the window
layout, so that you can "undo" popup windows etc.
Regards,
Michael.
