According to the generated pod...  (see the SIGNALS section of each page)

Gnome2::Wnck::Window's name-changed signal sounds rather like exactly what you
want.  However, the Window object is a one-to-one representation of the
windows on the screen, so you'd have to track changes in the set of windows on
the screen.

To that end, Gnome2::Wnck::Screen has several signals that sound useful,
window-opened and window-closed in particular.
