Maybe this is going to be in version 19; if not maybe it still can be
included...

I'd like to be able to call a lisp function whenever Emacs loses the
keyboard focus.  I would want to bind this to a function which merely
inserts an undo boundary.  This would fix a couple of an annoyance I
encounter with Emacs under X windows.  Occasionally I unintentionally type
into my Emacs buffer, thinking that my focus is in an xterm window for
example.  I'd like to be able in execute undo to recover.  Currently, this
will often also undo some previously typed text.

Thanks.
