GtkTreeView problem

[Laszlo Kovacs <laszlo kovacs Sun COM>]

Hi All,

I have to write a piece of code that returns the widget that the user 
clicked on and the coordinates where the click happened relative to the 
widget.

I had something that caught the button press event, took the coordinates 
from it and called gtk_get_event_widget() on the event to get the widget.

This worked well until I hit into GtkTreeView. The problem is that 
GtkTreeViewColumn has a window and it sets the parent GtkTreeView as 
this window's user data. As gtk_get_event_widget() takes the gdk window 
from the event and queries its user data to get the widget the above 
algorithm does not work anymore as the coordinates are given relative to 
the GtkTreeViewColumn's window while the widget returned is the 
GtkTreeView. I also noticed that the docs call GtkTreeViewColumn an 
"object", is this a widget or not?

If this is not a bug in gtk+ then I need some different approach. 
Something like ignoring the event coordinates and getting the mouse 
pointer relative to the GtkTreeView widget's window (using 
gdk_window_get_pointer()) would probably help, but is this the right 
approach or I am missing the point completely?

Thanks,

Laszlo
