I've been thinking a bit about such functionality a while ago but never got to work on it. I was thinking along a different angle though: my idea was to do it in rio, hoping I would somehow be able to figure out from which window a new app was started (probably there is env var WINDOWID or some such) and then hide the original thing, and put the new window in its place, hoping this would be general enough to work with 'any' X app. It must be the exposure to the real thing - I think I now really would love to have that functionality.
