dunno, but i'm in the middle of an Orson Scott Card book that describes 
exactly that technology.  i assume, given some minimum CPU power and free 
space and bandwidth, it would be undetectable.  worst case: it takes a 
screenshot every time the window changes (should be doable through the 
window manager).  it would be bursty, but not a steady stream, and the 
free space needed would decrease as you add bandwidth (you only have to 
store stuff until you can upload to the server).  and hide anything 
on-disk in a browser cache.
