absolute x,y relative? I suppose that you mean the absolute x,y position of the stage on the screen. Some time ago a similar thread was sent to this list [1] This information relies on the windowing system, so from clutter POV, you need to use the backends to get this information. For example, if you are using the X11 backend, you can use these functions: clutter_x11_get_root_window clutter_x11_get_stage_window In order to get the root X window and the X window related to the stage. Using both you can compute the absolute position of the stage on the screen.
