"where is the mouse" thingy

Hey folks. I had this problem before, but now that I have two monitors
it's only gotten worse. Occasionally, I lose the mouse pointer and I
have to track it down by waving the pointer and seeing what windows
highlight. (At least the two monitors line up so there are no ledges
for the pointer to get hung up on.) I have a spare button on my
trackball that I can't find a use for (#6, TTBOMK X only supports 5).
Is it possible to make it launch a utility that shows a graphic for half
a second or however long it's held down? I guess if I can't use it I'll
use some unusual key. I use fvwm2 which is pretty feature-free; I
haven't seen that function in it.
