Waterproofing a wood window frame in a shower?

I have a duplex which has windows in the shower on each floor. I am concerned that the wooden window frames will rot or accumulate mold. What can I do to prevent this from happening?

I have done this many times.  You definitely want to remove all wood trim/mouldings in the shower and cover the remaining structural parts with a KERDI membrane like what Home depot sells.  Then you can tile over top of the membrane.  grout, and caulk the seams.
