What exactly are you trying to accomplish ?

All widgets store thier coordinates relative to the next
parent in the heirarchy that has its own GdkWindow in the
variable: `widget->allocation'.

A treeview is a GtkWidget (so it has an allocation)
A cell area is a "thing that has to do with a treeview", so its
an entirely different beast AFAIK.
