I suggested before that you could perhaps advantageously using the -b and -e 
flags to achieve something similar.  You cannot get density over time per region 
of the box automatically.  That would be some sort of 3-D graph since there are 
two quantities effectively being analyzed.

The colorized plot from g_densmap can tell you quite a lot, in my opinion.

What about g_rdf?  Integrating an RDF plot will tell you how many solute 
molecules are present in a particular region of space.  Otherwise, you can also 
use g_select to determine how many water molecules are located between your 
peptides using simple geometric criteria.  Look for examples in the archive; 
people have done this before.
