What am I doing wrong? Is there some caveat that > comes with gtk_text_view_get_iter_location() that I'm not aware of? > There are a couple surprising things, one is mentioned here: http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/gtk/GtkTextView.html#gtk-text-view- get-iter-location buffer coords vs. various other coordinate origins you might be expecting. Another is that the text view gets laid out asynchronously, so the coords of a given iter will change as this happens. Right after you insert a line it's normally 0-height for example. Could also be a bug, especially since you're using 2.0 which was the first appearance of TextView and is pretty old by now.
