[SLUG] "where is the mouse" thingy

Hey folks. I had this problem before, but now that I have two monitors it's
only gotten worse. Occasionally, I lose the mouse pointer and I have to
track it down by waving the pointer and seeing what windows highlight. (At
least the two monitors line up so there are no ledges for the pointer to get
hung up on.) I have a spare button on my trackball that I can't find a use
for (#6, TTBOMK X only supports 5). Is it possible to make it launch a
utility that shows a graphic for half a second or however long it's held
down for? I guess if I can't use it I'll use some unusual key. I use fvwm2
which is pretty feature-free; I haven't seen that function in it.
