[pygtk] custom popup dialog

[Michael Baranov]

Hello!

I'm implementing a custom popup window for a gtk.Entry. Actually it's a =

custom completion popup. but does not really matter. The real question is:

*for a given gtk.Entry (parented, realized) get location of the =

left-bottom corner of the entry in screen coordinates* (in order to =

position the popup window).


Part of the problem I solved myself:
    window =3D entry.get_parent_window()
    origin =3D window.get_origin()
origin returns left-top corner of window's client area in screen =

coordinates. It's OK.

But I'm not able to get *actual* entry position and size in window =

coordinates. entry.get_allocation() returns allocation which not always =

corresponds to *actual* on-screen size and position, but rather reflects =

he space devoted to the widget. For example putting gtk.Entry into =

gtk.VBox gives the above results.

Help is much appreciated! Thanks!
