how to convince a mouse that a screen has a diferent size?

Maybe somebody knows a reasonable method of convincing a mouse that a
screen has different dimensions than defaults?

I have at this moment a specific use case for this.  Namely, after an
upgrade to F20 I am trying to configure gnome-shell-extension-weather on
a netbook with 1280x800 screen.  An old configuration is discarded and a
configuration panel has _required_ elements which extend below a screen
edge and apparently no keyboard equivalents for needed mouse actions.
In Gnome2 it was possible to shift a window up beyond screen limits, and
expose required area, but in a "we know better what is good for you"
Gnome3 this is a no-no.

OK, so xrandr allows me to scale a picture by 1.2x1.2, and that is good
enough to show all what I need, but a mouse will still not go beyond a
magic limit of 800 (scaled) pixels so I can see but I cannot touch. :-)
Hence my original question.  Is any decent way to rescale a mouse too?

In this particular instance I can use xrandr to rotate a screen left or
right, possibly rescaling a bit for a convenience, and use that while
doing that particular configuration. This works ok. But what if on
another occasion such rotated panel will turn out to be too wide for a
change?
