What you describe certainly sounds doable.  Perhaps you need to
translate from the mouse's coordinate system to the screens?

There are lots and lots of pycairo/pygtk examples out there, so if you
dig around a bit you'll probably find something similar to what you're
trying to do, that can help clue you in.  Otherwise, if you get really
stumped post a minimum test case here showing the problem and maybe
someone can take a look.
