Sorry I wasn't precise enough, I believe the mouse coordinates are the 
relative coordinates in your window. Not the full screen. So if you used 
the placer its whatever you placed it at. Otherwise you can query each 
widget for their current location/size.

Or there may be an included() method that tells you if the point is 
included in the widgets area. I can't recall how Tkinter does it and I'm 
seen GUIs do it both ways... Sorry, not near a Tkinter reference right now!

I think its in the "winfo" methods somewhere...
