I didn't not test it (I did it only for keyboard events) but I think you should
override the mouse* methods of vtkPanel.

This is the problem of heavy/light components. Adding those 2 lines will fix the
problem for menus and tooltips:
JPopupMenu.setDefaultLightWeightPopupEnabled(false);
ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().setLightWeightPopupEnabled(false);

I don't think there is any solution for panels.

JCAE will probably contains examples of what you want to do:
