Nathan, have a look at the MouseTracker class in the Simulator project of qooxdoo-contrib http://qooxdoo-contrib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/qooxdoo-contrib/trunk/qooxdoo-contrib/Simulator/trunk/source/class/custom/MouseTracker.js?view=log
It's very little code but maybe just what you're looking for. Have a look in the Application.js file in the same directory to see the usage (these lines are commented out). If used that way it will open a small box and displays the current mouse coordinates in real time. If you have problems using the code let me know.
