Ahh, I see.  gdk-window-get-size is already there, but
gdk-window-get-origin needs to be added (which I have done in CVS).
You can use them like this:

    (define w (gtk-window-new 'toplevel))
    ...
    (gdk-window-get-size (gtk-widget-window w))
    => (200 . 200)

As you can see, the functions return the two coordinates as a cons of
two numbers.

Does this help?
