All good points.  A very simple first-cut solution might just
automatically stop recording when you tried to perform any sort of
window management functions, I suppose-- if you want to record
interactions with other windows, you've got the option of recording the
whole screen instead.  I've no idea if/how that's implementable, of
course :)

Yeah, the Grab application that comes with OSX allows that, but it does
only take static screenshots.

Cheeri,
