[wp-hackers] How to determine which admin screen I'm currently viewing

After inspecting core for about a day, I now had to come here to ask this
Q, because I'm completely at the end with my ideas.
I'm trying to write a plugin that needs to trigger on every admin UI page.
Therefore I need to find out, where I exactly am.
$GLOBALS['current_screen']; gives me some basic data, but when building the
array I compare against, I have no clue where to get consistent data from.
I use the globals $menu, $submenu; to build a multidimensional array
containing the admin menu items as shown in this paste [1].
Point is that already tried to compare against global $self,
$current_screen, $parent_file, $submenu_file, $plugin_page,
$admin_page_hooks, $_registered_pages, $_parent_pages; but none
was consistent across all admin pages. I also couldn't get behind the logic
what exactly is used where.
I hope someone can give me a bit of an insight into this.
Thanks a lot!
Best wishes,
Kaiser.
