I've been experimenting with using the xosd lib for visual clues as to
which screen has focus on xinerma set ups (something that brings grief
and confusion to new users!)

An example,

The idea would be for an xmc extension with hooks into xosd, so you
could write text and other fun things this way, with the first
application being a view hook.

Thoughts? Seems worth pursuing?
