With the risk of looking naive, I'm asking: who will invoke the
function then? Of course we do want the thing to work even when
switching from one X11 frame to a console frame containing the very
same buffer (OK, it is extreme, but still ...). In that case who will
trigger the function execution upon switching from frame to frame?

BTW, if/when you have some proof of concept code I can test it, to
ensure that nothing else remains to be nailed down.

Cheers.
