Right now you can't do that by using the overlay, you need a
multi-steps process, where you need to split the file, overlay just in
the interested segments and merge again the modified segments, or
create an ad-hoc video to overlay which shows the image only in the
interested intervals.

In order to achieve what you want with overlay, you may need to extend
the filter, support x:y position per-frame evaluation and/or add
support to event-driven reconfiguration, like it is done in drawtext,
patches or a feature request are welcome.

ffmpeg-user random tip #19
X11 session recording with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/audio -f x11grab -s $WIDTHx$HEIGHT -r 5 -i :0.0 \
    x11-session.avi
Use xdpyinfo to get WIDTH and HEIGHT values.
