Moving chapternumber in the margin ...

Hi everybody,

Studying the details manual I thought to have found a way to print the 
chapter number on the margin. Each increase of the chapternumber would 
move the figure a predefined distance downwards.

Now when using a \def{\dimexpr(\realpageno\rightmarginwidth)} my 
chapternumber moves down. Replacing the \realpageno with 
\currentheadnumber the chapternumber is not moving or only after a 
couple of pages ...

Is there someone who could hint me how to approach this? Please refer to 
the attached sample file "bleedingchapternumber.tex"

Thanks and regards

Willi
