But if ink_rect is supposed to be relative to the top left, then I think I
see a bug in get_line_extents_layout_coords, because when line ==
layout->lines->data, it does line_ink_layout->y = line_ink->y, and I can't
see how that can possibly be right.

The text was some file name (all ASCII characters, but this happened for all
the file names), the font was the default one for a widget without any rc
file machinations, width was set to some value wide enough to include the
whole name on one line, alignment was PANGO_ALIGN_CENTER, and spacing was 0.
I can get you some more specific information if that will help you track it
down, but I suspect code inspection of get_line_extents_layout_coords will
take care of it.
