How would we go about polling the users?

This is indeed a big undertaking, seeing as there is 50.000+ instances
of "window" in the tree to consider.  I have made a few false starts,
but it's hard to decide the best way to start with such a big task.
I'm currently bogged down with real world commitments and dropped the
ball a bit here, but if there is interest I might be able to take
another stab at it when things clear up.
