Isn't it precisely what e-other-window does ?

Btw, I had this problem several times already: what is the standard
way to change one window background color ? In e-other-window, they
use an overlay to change the color of the face. The problem with that
solution is that it changes the color of non-empty lines only ...
(which lead to ugliness such as *modifying* empty buffer by inserting
a '\n', cf. e-other-window-blink).
