Somebody who faced the same problem replied:
"The main stumbling block was trying to find the GdkWindow at arbitrary
screen coordinate (x,y). We ended up punting and moving the pointer
with gdk_display_warp_pointer(), then finding the proper GdkWindow
with gdk_window_at_pointer(). Here is the code:

Disclaimer: there are probably inefficiencies in that code, but it
seems to be good enough for our purposes (automated testing)."
