Ah, so he meant detect when some other application has focus? That's
what I was missing, thanks.
Then I don't understand why the solution of focus-in/out-hook was
rejected as "hackish". These hooks are there precisely for situations
like these, AFAIK. IMO, there's nothing hackish about that.

I indeed feel there might still be aspects of the original question
that need to be further clarified.
