Here are the messages I still have on my server:
They're not in gmane either, so maybe they never left my newsserver :-(
Has anybody else seen them ?

That would be neat, but nobody has written the code to do it yet.
I don't think it can be done in elisp right now, so we first need
some C code (exported to elisp) so that you can determine pixel
positioning.

I know someone has started work on it, but help is still welcome,

I believe you'll need to do some C coding in Emacs for that.
It would be great if you could help out,
