Sorry Toralf,
My bad.. use Gtk::Dialog instead of Gtk::MessageDialog.
You mean, and add a Gtk::Label by hand? Yes, perhaps...
I did find a way to remove the icon, though, but it involved Gtk+
(not Gtkmm) functions and direct access to gobject() members...

Hey Toralf,
You can connect a callback to your signal_button_press_event that
would displaying the mouse coordinates in a Gtk::MessageDialog
that has no buttons added to it and with all its decorations
turned off...
Yes. I considered that earlier, but thought I might ask first in
case there was an even simpler way...
Anyhow, I've now tried this, and it nearly looks the way I want,
but there is one problem: The message dialog will also contain an
icon indicating the message type. I don't want that, but I can't
seem to find a way to disable it.
that would make it resemble a tool tip; and, since it would
have focus, you could close it when it receives the release
event. Just a thought.
Possibly a dumb question, but how exactly can I do that? I thought
that it would go away if I did
msgBox.clear();
after creating as
Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::MessageDialog> msgBox=new
Gtk::MessageDialog(*this, msg, Gtk::MESSAGE_INFO, Gtk::BUTTONS_NONE);
but it doesn't.

In one of my applications, I'd like to display the pointer
position (within the widget) when a certain mouse button (I
haven't decided which) is clicked, in some kind of a popup box.
Any suggestions about how to achieve this? I mean, to capture the
actual click and get the position, I can probably just connect to
signal_button_press_event() - or possibly
signal_button_release_event(), but what's the best way of
actually displaying the information? Maybe I want something
rather like the standard tooltips, but I don't know how to force
display of those...
