I think you need to look at the basic X windows event model.
In particular look at how Window Managers like twm/fvwm are
written.

Or the ubiquitous xeyes applet. It tracks the mouse all over
the screen so must catch the mouse events before forwarding
them to the applications.

These are written in C but should give you a clue as to which
events to catch and which windows/event queues to monitor
or API calls to make.

HTH,
