Once the widget is actually shown (`$mw->update`), you can ask for any widget's location and size with `$widget->geometry`, which will return something like "`243x25+10+233`". Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Sure, most probably :) add `use Tk::WidgetDump; $mainWindow->WidgetDump; MainLoop;` to your program and see if it has the details, see Tk::options	[reply]
