Ah! I stand corrected, I hadn't spotted that rail. I assumed that you would put the showerhead over the long side of the bath, but having it over the tap-end makes more sense.
I don't know what you had in mind for "clipping" the shower head to the curtain rail. I can't think of a specific bit of hardware that would do that unless you wanted to cludge it together with a universal bike light mount, since the diameter of the shower rail will be much bigger than a shower riser.
One option would be to mount a bottom-entry (ooh-er!) shower arm above the window so it goes over the curtain rail. That would allow you to attach a flexible hose from the tap, although you'll need to check that the fitting on the arm is for a hose, rather than a compression fitting for a rigid pipe. You could even fit another diverter valve to the tap, so that you could have one hose to the overhead fitting and one hose to the handheld. I have this one and it works well.

Brilliant! Thanks dude, this is making everything fall into place. I think the phrase I was missing is 'bottom entry', which is unusual for me. :D
So if I've not gone totally mad it seems something like THIS would actually do the whole job all in one, and I'd not need to worry whether or not the fitting on the arm is for a hose because its clearly designed for it.
Great shout on the diverter valve too. I had no idea they even existed.

Thanks dude, this is really useful. THIS is the kind of shower rail I was thinking about with supports on the long side but it's a good point about overloading the short end.
Can I just ask something about clipping it to the wall? My original idea was to clip it to the shower rail (at the front) - would that do the same thing? As you can see I've got a window in the way of attaching any pipes to the wall (but I do think that looks a lot better).
