I don't think it is possible to move the mouse cursor, but I think that if we added a freeze / thaw button and used a keyboard shortcut then we would be adding the commonly requested freeze / thaw and it would solve this problem. We would also need to move the inspector out into XUL, but this is something we have been planning for a while.I am not sure where to go with that though ... canvas, SVG or HTML SVG supports rotation and transforms, canvas is also good and has a lot of feature but using HTML would mean pretty much copying the current inspector ... hmmm :o/
