Here's a drop in replacement for the posted what-cursor-coordinates in
the new motion.el.  This gives true cursor coordinates.  It is also
faster.  I find the strings more helpful than a coordinate pair.
Season to taste.

Wow, I sure wouldn't want this behavior.  Maybe this tip will help:
most new users of Epoch still think in terms of windows instead of
screens.  I find it more convenient to jump from screen to screen
(with only one buffer visible in each) than from window to window, and
buffer to buffer.  Following are some utilities you may find helpful.

C-h u		   run hyper manual browser (from contrib/hyper)
C-h i		   run hyper info browser (from contrib/hyper)

M-+		   highlight-region
M-_		   unhighlight-region

Alt-Copy	   duplicate-screen
Alt-Home	   map-all-screens
Alt-End		   iconify-all-screens
Alt-PgUp	   raise-screen (effectively)  I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND
Alt-PgDn	   lower-screen (effectively)  WHY THESE ARE NOT INTERACTIVE
Alt-KeyPad 5	   redraw-display (without moving point relative to window)
Alt-KeyPad +	   go to previous screen 
Alt-KeyPad -	   go to next screen
Alt-KeyPad INS	   create-screen
Alt-KeyPad DEL	   remove-screen (effectively) SEE COMPLAINT ABOVE
Alt-KeyPad Enter   find-buffer-other-screen

    and finally!

KeyPad 5	   other-window-or-screen

    so if you have two (or more) windows, it switches windows,
    but if you have only one, it switches screens (cycling through
    however many are not iconified).

Note that the default behavior when auto-raise-screen is nil is dumb:
It assumes that when you do C-z o to switch-screen, you don't want to
see where the cursor just went.  This is fixed by the redefinition of
cursor-to-screen below.  The reason for auto-raise-screen to be not t is
that there is no way (in OpenWindows 2.0) to prevent Epoch jumping to
the top of the workspace whenever the mouse (even briefly) brushes
past it.

This is in $OPENWINHOME/lib/openwin-sys to give me the extra Meta keys
Alt and Alt_Graph

#install Meta keys, XView function keys, AltGraph and Num_Lock as modifiers
xmodmap -e 'add mod1 = Meta_L Meta_R' \
	-e 'add mod2 = F13 F16 F18 F19 F20' \
	-e 'add mod3 = Mode_switch Alt_L' \
	-e 'add mod4 = Num_Lock'  \
	-e 'add mod5 = Multi_key' \
	-e 'keycode 57 = KP_Decimal'

In OpenWindows on a Sun4 keyboard, I use the following bindings:
;; ---------------- epoch special keys ----------------

;; Mask list  
;; normal    = 0
;; shift     = 1
;; caps lock = 2  (lock)
;; control   = 4
;; meta      = 8  (mod1)
;; alt       = 32 (mod3)
;; num lock  = 64 (mod4)

If I understand you correctly, you have to ask your window manager to make the keyboard focus follow the mouse. The man page for your window manager should tell you how to do this. If you use this feature with (setq auto-raise-screen t) and multiple overlapping epoch screens, don't move your mouse around too fast :-).
