This is a pretty major functionality change and there will definitely be 
unforeseen problems.
Perhaps we should hold out until 0.2.0 has been released before taking it on.

this would be pretty slayin.

The only thing I can think of is taking a look at screen capture programs to 
see hov they work.
or perhaps setting up a a bash script that takes snap shots of windows every 
few seconds and if any of them change,
call ratpoison -c "echo activity in window x"
I think the gnome panel and enlightenment have scaled down pictures of the 
windows, which could prove insightful.
