gdk_window_get_position(GdkWindow *window, gint *x, gint *y);

  Yes, but where is the GdkWindow * ? I only have GtkXYZ's ...

ps: As you might guess, I'm rather new to gtk (or widgets, in general).


pps: For the problem of finding the widget at screen coordinate x,y,

    I found this in gdkprivate.h :

=====================================================================
/* Please see gdkwindow.c for comments on how to use */ 
Window gdk_window_xid_at(Window base, gint bx, gint by, gint x, gint y, GList *excludes, gbo
olean excl_child);
Window gdk_window_xid_at_coords(gint x, gint y, GList *excludes, gboolean excl_child);
=====================================================================

  Where Window is defined in X.h (its a typedef XID Window, and XID in turn
is typedef unsigned long XID). 

  But that doesn't help me to get a GtkXYZ from a Window.
