That's a lot of overkill :) You can simply do void get_absolute_position (GtkWidget *widget, int *ret_x, int *ret_y) { GdkWindow *parent; int parent_x, parent_y; parent = gtk_widget_get_parent_window (widget); gdk_window_get_origin (parent, &parent_x, &parent_y); *ret_x = parent_x + widget->allocation.x; *ret_y = parent_y + widget->allocation.y; } Federico _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
