Description John Stowers 2010-01-26 13:27:18 UTC 
The GdkWindow::to-embedder [1] and GdkWindow::from-embedder [2] are impossible to bind for PyGTK to bind because they require returning two values via gpointers.

Possible solutions are discussed on bug 607393. It is regretful that a new boxed type was not created to hold the gdouble x,y variables and then the result returned via this.

Comment 1 Gustavo Carneiro 2010-01-26 16:02:49 UTC 
Clarification, the new type does not need to be "boxed type", it can remain a pointer, just not a G_TYPE_POINTER, a subtype:

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are closing bugs that haven't seen activity in more than 5 years. If this issue is still imporant to you and
still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please consider creating a gitlab issue
for it.
