Quick update: I've built a basic tool for mapping MIDI control events to
X events. The current version maps MIDI events to one of three possibilities:
Mouse clicks, keystrokes, and mouse drags. It's got a little GUI that lets
you calibrate those mappings on the fly, and I can already use it to control
programs like jamin, for example. You can find the current version at
    http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~brinkman/software/pyseq.tgz
if you're interested.
Best,
    Peter
