I am glad if I could help.
Btw, I noticed there is a small bug in the script, there should be an
additional line towards the script's end, so that the end of the script
looks like:
root.bind('<1>', quit)
for sig in (2, 3, 6, 15):
signal(sig, quit)
root.wm_protocol('WM_DELETE_WINDOW', quit) # I forgot this the other day
root.update_idletasks()
start()
root.deiconify()
root.mainloop()
root.destroy()
There shouldn't happen anything nasty without this "WM-protocol" handler,
however when the window is removed by the window manager, without this
line some ugly "crash message" might show up.

I guess this could be done with even fewer lines of code when written in
Tcl/Tk, I am just more familiar with Python ;)

Actually there is at least one:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mouseposition/
It works here, looks like it just didn't make it into debian.
Have a nice day,
Michael
