   Did anyone write a function to switch to a buffer which is closest to the 
   top of buffer stack and not displayed in all existing screens ?

No, but I wrote one once to switch to a buffer in a screen that lies
under all other screens except for the screen containing a window that
held a buffer that was below the original buffer in the buffer stack,
unless the window was in a screen that was currently iconified and the
buffer was unmodified but above any other buffer that was contained in
more than one window in the buffer stack, in which case I looped
through the screen list looking for windows holding buffers that were
in windows that were iconified but raised over all other screens
holding windows with buffers that were shown in multiple windows with
buffers that were only in one screen.
