Re: getting the origin of a window

I need to get to get the coordinates of a position in a textview. Consider
this function:

let get_coordinates_at_offset buffer view i =
  let iter =  buffer#get_iter (`OFFSET i) in
  let rectangle = view#get_iter_location iter in
  let x_origin,y_origin = Gdk.Window.get_position w#misc#window in
  (rectangle.x+x_origin,rectangle.y+y_origin)

which takes a textbuffer and a textview and an offset and returns the (x,y)
coordinate of the offset. Is this correct? Or do I need
gtk_window_get_position(window,&x,&y) ?
