  Followup on this project.. the code I posted is not good as-is because
as of recent CVS emacs, the dframe module tramples all over it.  I put
in a request on emacs.devel for a hook on make-frame-visible so that
both dframe's handler and my handler can coexist, but the request was
denied.  The workaround suggested was to (require 'dframe), then
implement make-frame-visible-hook in my own .emacs and ensure dframe's
handler gets called there.  (A backwards hack.)

  If anybody else wants to make the case to the emacs devs for having
this functionality in tracking-mode, it would be much appreciated.
