I'm just playing with this myself, and when using an NSTrackingArea, I find I 
get cursorUpdate: events when scrolling. This event provides the mouse location 
just like mouseMoved:. Based on the sparse description for cursorUpdate:, 
however, I can't tell whether I can count on this behavior. Can anyone else 
confirm?

Thanks,
Dave
