You really don't need a timeout. Just set up an idle and save the 
geometry when the idle fires. It's no big deal to save the geometry 
multiple times in a row; deferring to idle ensures that at least you 
won't do it so many times that it's absurd.

In fact, saving the geometry each time would probably be OK too. 
There's at already least one layer in the metadata machinery that 
defers until idle (writing out the metafile), and it's hard to imagine 
that saving the geometry would be significantly slower than actually 
resizing the window's contents and redrawing as necessary.
