Comment 416 for bug 532633

@Alan

I think what matters isn't so much the *absolute* positioning so much as where your mouse is hanging out relative to the window that's selected (assuming that's good proxy for the window you're looking at). Another small concern is whether or not it's possible to use this program on a very long-term basis; i.e., on my home--Lucid--desktop, if I leave this app running, does it record the place my mouse is at while I'm at work for 8-9hrs?

Perhaps the program you linked could be modified, or another like it created, which might be able to report back to a central server (when asked to) your history of mouse pointer relative to window-in-focus, in order to generate composite statistics/images.

I'm sure there are plenty of people around here who'd be up for a small project like that.
