Maybe a different approach would work then: assuming that when actively
using Emacs you know where the cursor is, the problem should mostly be
to find the cursor when coming back to Emacs.

In that case, maybe you could make the cursor in the selected window
"annoyingly" visible (along the lines of hl-line, for example) after
some idle time.

                the mouse, so finding the selected window amounts to
                finding the mouse cursor"
