I think it's something which should be achieved either by the window manager or X itself. Anyway, do you have any pointer of existing implementation (for instance in Compiz)?
Unfortunately I'm unaware of any existing implementation of this. I guess it would require a window manager that takes 100% control of the screen content (not sure if all compositing WMs do that) because presumably then it would just be a matter of listening to all X11 screens as "input" and then drawing the rectangle on a different output. (The screen it was created on would just be the default.)
