For your whole desktop, you just use XTest to fake input, which as
you've noted, only gives absolute co-ordinates, and is treated as fake
device input, so you can only interact with the topmost windows.  If you
want to send an event to an occluded region of a window, well ... you
can't.

Cheers,
Daniel
