Auto-adding the overlays can be done in window-configuration-change-hook. We're talking about N overlays per buffer where N is small (it's number of windows where the buffer is displayed), so there's no performance problem there. > Or, we could have it reversed.

That would be a lot simpler, indeed, but I think it will be difficult to make it look good. Stefan
