Thanks. It's a good idea. I thought of doing this with wmctl as well.

However, I'd like it to be more integrated. Perhaps I could modify matchbox window manager to send a dbus signal?

I've not used dbus before, but this would be a decent hook, I think.

Would I want to make the change to matchbox, hildon-home, or hildon-desktop? Maybe hildon-home and hildon-desktop already have dbus signals for this sort of thing?
