I think probably the trickiest part of this is to set up a listener so

it's impossible, but that's definitely a tricky part.

An alternative is to keep a list of files that *might* be changing and then look at their timestamps when Inkscape regains focus. It's very "low tech", but gets the job done fairly well.
