given that you have the image you want to draw you can create a bitmap
mask from it with gdk_pixbuf_render_threshold_alpha, then you can
create a gdkwindow using the mask and draw on it. You cant draw
outside drawables (thats why they are drawables cause you draw on
them) but i think this effect is what you are looking for.
If you what to make it chase the mouse cursor i ull have to set a
timer that takes its position and moves the window
have fun :)

Like the Macintosh help system that originated in System 7?
Does anyone know of a widget available that does this, or an app that
uses one?
No.
Or if I need to do it myself, would I have to make a shaped window that
included the space for the pointer, or is there a way to draw on the
screen outside widgets?
Yes, shaped windows are the way to go.
