I would say it's best done as a Javascript thing.

<html>
<head>
<script type = "text/javascript">
function goFunc(e){
x = e.clientX
y = e.clientY
alert("X=" + x + " Y=" + y)
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type = "text/javascript">
window.onload = function(e){document.onclick = goFunc;};
</script>
Javascript or Python?
</body>
</html>

Save the above as an HTM and click, it should give you the x,y co-ords
for the browser window excluding scrolbars etc.

Shouldn't be too hard to create a window that matches the size of your
map, and convert window co-ords into image co-ords.

Good luck with that, though, Javascript is a funny beast, but there's
some good tutorials out there.

Regards,

Liam Clarke
