I found the specific functions I was thinking of:
wx.Window.ScreenToClient
wx.Window.ClientToScreen

So, if you can get the component that your size is relative to, you 
could do:

screen_pos = right_under.ClientToScreen(event.position)
absolute_pos = background.ScreenToClient(screen_pos)

Does that make sense?
I've never done anything like this in PythonCard/wxWidgets, but similar 
approaches in other systems have worked out for me in the past.
