Right, right and right: I got rid of the [un]lockFocus calls, and added 
in the adjustments for the toolbar height and titlebar height.  After 
this, moving the mouse
to position x, y with:

(set-mouse-position (selected-frame) x y)

results in a call to (mouse-position) returning (<frame ...> x . y) -- 
except for the specific case I mentioned (see below).  I'm still working 
on the patch, and will send a new one in the next few days.

Yes.  For reference, this is what (display-monitor-attributes-list) 
gives in Emacs 25.2:

(((name . "Color LCD")
  (geometry 0 0 1280 800)
  (workarea 0 22 1280 714)
  (mm-size 290 180)
  (frames #<frame emacs-devel 0x105058460> #<frame nsterm.h 0x1179a1500>)
  (source . "NS"))
 ((name . "DELL 2007WFP")
  (geometry -1050 -880 1050 1680)
  (workarea -1050 -880 1050 1680)
  (mm-size 430 270)
  (frames #<frame  *Minibuf-1* 0x1189a4198>)
  (source . "NS")))

With the frame in the taller monitor as mentioned, after calling 
(set-mouse-position (selected-frame) 0 0), (mouse-position) returns 
(#<frame *scratch* 0x1058883a8> 0 . 55), which happens to be about 800 
pixels from the place where it should end up (i.e. it sounds like the 
calculation is off the mark by the height of the primary monitor).

I ran NS_PARENT_WINDOW_TOP_POS(f) on the frame in the taller monitor as 
described, and it always returned 1680.  I tried adding 
([[[FRAME_NS_VIEW (f) window] screen] frame].origin.y) to the last line 
in the macro you mentioned, but this must always be returning zero, 
because it made no difference and the macro still returned 1680.
