[oats-sig] webcam mouse movement = mouseTrap

Hey Flavio,

That's the same Flavio in both cases Simon ;-)

I spotted pyatspi (great) is used which is GNOME only, but IA2 reduces
the gap evenif no python binding yet.

@Flavio: where does pyatspi get used, just for selecting useful
windows to auto-focus?
Can we look at the code? Don't be shy about it not looking too neat.
It works well and polish can follow. ;-)

Cheers

Steve
