There was a program in comp.sources.x about 1.5 years ago (when R2 was all the
rage) called xwatchwin which would do what you're after. I don't know whether
it would work [very well|at all] under R4. It may be useful to you though.
I no longer have the sources in machine readable form, but I'm sure you
could scavenge them from somewhere that keeps comp.sources.x archives :-)
