I guess it would be possible to implement some hacks for this ... you'd
either need some kind of driver on the Atari side (maybe an .ACC) that
somehow polls the mouse position from Hatari and then sets the GEM mouse
to the same position, or Hatari could try to mess with the Line-A variables
to read and/or set the mouse position on the Atari side.
Anyway, you also need to consider that the window might be scaled and that
there are borders in some screen modes, so you often also can't get a
straight 1:1 mapping between the host mouse position and the GEM mouse.
The problems are certainly solvable, but it's certainly a bit of work. Feel
free to send patches if you've got enough spare time to look into this!

For the time being, I recommend to use the mouse grabbing keyboard shortcut
to switch quickly between host and Atari mouse handling.
