I have some ideas that you might try.  I am basing these on reading I 
have done, not on code I have written, so I could be way off the mark.  
If you try either of these ideas, please let us know how it works out.

You might try overriding getGraphics() rather than paint Children().

Try placing a transparent component in the JFrame's JLayeredPane, 
directly above the components in question.  Then this new component 
should get the mouse events, rather than the other components.  You 
could then perform whatever translations you want on the events and 
send them on to the other components.
