  I need any one of the following things, but none seem to be 
easy/possible:

  Can I install a completely "passive" glass pane such that it is 
notified of mouse events, but still passes them onto the lower pane?  It 
should also pass on getCursor() calls, etc.  Manually deciding where to 
pass mouse events is very complex - even the Sun example doesn't do it 
correctly.

  Or, is there an "automated" function to determine what would have been 
the destination component for a mouse event given the mouse event 
delivered to the glass pane (findComponentAt isn't good enough because 
of dragging, menus, exited, etc.)?

  Or, is there a way other than a glass pane to paint on top of swing 
components?

  Or, as a last resort, how can I get the current mouse cursor position 
in a non-mouse event method?

  I've looked in two books and all over the usenet search engines, and 
I'm not finding any help on this issue.

Thanks,
Erik
