It's a concern any time someone's checking it every 10ms interval
invocation. For example, I'm right now looking at a browser window
where the check would probably take longer than that (ping time from the
X client to the X server is 50ms in this case).

What are the use cases? Are they addressed by roc's proposal? If not,
is an explicit script-triggered visibility check the only way to address
them?
