Ahh this makes sense.  Having the tool follow the mouse cursor is something
that I was thinking about trying with some other tools, now I have
something to model that off.  Bugger about the bug on X11, in that case it
would be best to have a window.

Is it possible to do a frameless modeless dialog with the widget inside and
have it follow the cursor?  Or does this have the same issue.
