Not dense. I just don't think you've considered the sort of application
Henry's developed...
Just because I don't understand the reason for wanting to "observe"
mouse moved events in other applications doesn't mean there isn't a
reason. So, why does your customer want to "observe" the mouse moved
events of other applications in your application that stays on top ?
For that matter, why do they want an application that stays on top ?
I am honestly curious why a user wants a constantly updating display
of where the mouse is in another application.

How do you convert the mouse events to meaningful coordinates for the
other application ? Do you use the accessibility API or the Core
Graphics API or do you somehow insert code in the Window Server ?
Rulers, for example, doesn't need to know the coordinates in the other
application -- it just needs to know the actual screen x-y coordinates.
