A related issue in Compiz is knowing where the cursor is within an application window. When using the enhanced zoom desktop, if you zoom in, and then press Alt+Tab, the newly focused application scrolls into view. However, it just shows the middle of the window. In a gnome terminal, for example, the cursor is usually somewhere on the left side.
So, if you find the answer, please post it back here. I'd be very interested in finding a way to start following the cursor.
