My app wants to be able to black out the entire screen with the exception
of part of one window.  The idea is that there is something I want to
take a photograph of, and I don't want any other applications, or even
anything else in that window to appear in the picture.  After I'm done
I want to generate exposures as necessary to restore everything back the
way it was.

Any ideas ?
