I am not sure this will work in the multi-monitors configuration when the screen is split across a few monitors(when Xinerama is enabled for example). In such a configuration, only one root window and only one X11 screen exist. And the index of the GraphicsDevice is the index of the "virtual" monitor, so you cannot pass this index to the "XlibWrapper.RootWindow".

A few questions:
* Are you sure that to scale the x/y in the device space you need to find where the pointer is located? And not where the x/y coordinates are located themselves?
* Did you try to iterate over the devices->downscale the bounds of each GD to the device scale and upscale the x/y using the selected device. Such utility method can be added to the SunGraphicsEnvironment
