Window.coordsFromParent

Transforms window coordinates from a parent window to a child window, where the parent window is the normal parent as returned by gdk_window_get_parent() for normal windows, and the window's embedder as returned by gdk_offscreen_window_get_embedder() for offscreen windows.

For normal windows, calling this function is equivalent to subtracting the return values of gdk_window_get_position() from the parent coordinates. For offscreen windows however (which can be arbitrarily transformed), this function calls the GdkWindow::from-embedder: signal to translate the coordinates.

You should always use this function when writing generic code that walks down a window hierarchy.
