Moisture Control Around Windows

Hello, I have metal framed windows in my bathroom that transfer too much moisture onto the drywall and sill. So I'm getting ready to replace the sill and repair the drywall and I'm trying to figure out the best 'preventive' approach so I don't wind up in the same situation again. I'm thinking about carving a narrow V groove into the the drywall abutting the metal frame and running a small bead of silicone or latex caulk and laying a strip of waxed cord on top of that. It seems like this will give me a decent moisture barrier between the frame and the wall and sill. I'd appreciate hearing anyone's thoughts about how effective this will be and/or other ideas ... Thanks!
