And then I saw Wayland. Bleh. So I'll ask -- anyone have any ideas, thoughts, pointers on doing something similar in X?

If you don't want to write a new window manager from scratch you could use icewm with the companion program icesh and implement this behavior in bash.

Ooh thanks. I switch between Openbox and AwesomeWM these days and had kind of forgotten about IceWM. Icesh seems tighter than the other stuff I've seen in this space.
