For example, the user starts= = to type the name of a function and if he hesitates a small frame appears= = in the screen above the line the cursor is in showing possible completio= ns. In order to position the popup frame correctly I need to know the positi= on = of the cursor in pixels relative to the top/left corner of the current = Emacs frame. I couldn't find anything like that in the documentation. Is= = it possible? Of course, I can show the completions in an other window in the same fra= me = (pop-to-buffer), but a small temporary popup frame above the cursor woul= d = be nicer. -- = Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
