See my post at:

Just modify the script to end up at the coordinates you want (and feel
free to do away with the little box I made--you only need one
MotionNotify event). Currently, the cursor stops at (320,240), but you
can pick any position you want. If you have focus issues, make sure the
cursor is within the mythfrontend window. By choosing a coordinate at
the lower left-hand corner of your screen, you can probably put the
cursor outside the visible area of the screen while still keeping the
"hot point" within the mythfrontend window (maybe losing one pixel of
video, or none if your signal is overscanned).
