What I am trying to do is write a method/plugin which will listen to the
entire workbench and tell me what is the current active object is when I
hover over it with the mouse. I know this can be accomplished by adding a
method to a view to listen for mouse events, but i need to listen for
events on the entire workbench. I am not sure this can be done. If it can
how? I can not modify any of the code within any of the view plugins..I
would like to sort of create my own view which listens to actions on all of
the other views..
