Call for Hacks: Windoid with visible title



Some applications, such as Canvas, have windoids WITH titles. While this
may seem a bit strange it can actually quite a desirable thing to have. In
the current implementation of MCL's windoids the title gets stored and can
be accessed but it has no visible manifestation. I rather not write a WDEF
or whatever to change this. Has anybody hacked up something in Lisp to have
visible titles in windoids? Any pointers are welcome.

The challenge, on one hand, consists of writing text to a region that is
not part of the window focus and, on the other hand, of the problem that
WINDOW-UPDATE-EVENT-HANDLER does not get called if only the title bar needs
updating.
