Can't resist a shameless plug: I just implemented a little tool that
maps
MIDI control change events to a wide range of X events, including mouse
drags with arbitrary buttons. It sounds like this tool could add instant
MIDI capability to oscxyam. You can find it at
http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~brinkman/software/pyseq.tgz
if you're interested. Documentation is still minimal, but the GUI is
supposed to be self-explanatory, and the tarball contains a little pdf
document that explains the most important points.

You'll find a link to a screenshot on the
usual place:

There are currently three ways to move a dot (linked to
mouse buttons 1,2,3 but that could change):
1. A message is sent for each X11 motion event.
2. A message is sent only when the dot is released.
3. No messages are sent, when the dot is released it
starts flashing. A click on the "Trig" buttong then
sends the update messages for all such dots at the
same time.
Looks nice, and useful. The only other mode I can think of is sprung, like
a pitchbend wheel, or joystick, so it flies back to an origin point when
released. Would only be useful in combination with 1 I think.
Have you thought about adding event control as well? There are a number of
useful USB HID controllers that could be bound to XY positions of the
pucks.
