I am going to be writing an application with X which will, among other
things, require the user to position the cursor inside a box to 'chose'
it.  It seems to me that the best way to handle this would be to create
a transparent window over the area to be chosen and monitor mouse clicks
from that window.  Does anyone know of a better way to go about this?
