AFAIK there isn't, but there definitely should be a message
broadcast, much like for font, and screen changes.
There should be? Or there almost certainly is? I really hope there is because that would allow me to make the application update view and offset dimensions. At the moment the application has to be restarted.

Would be nice to have invalidation notifications too. At least that
would make an application like BeScreenCapture more efficient: instead 
of getting a bitmap of the whole screen it would only get invalidated
areas.
Being able to get specific (invalidated?) areas of the screen is the reason that an accelerant for the VirtualBox addons couldn't be done IIRC.
