i've tried searching the web for this but couldn't find a solution:

does anybody know how i can get the x y coordinates of a textview control inside a ScrolledWindow?

Another issue i have is a crash when i use File operations (File.Copy for example) - the crash only happens when i execute it from the shortcut i made for it in hildon desktop - if i run from xterm the same command it works well. i thought it was probably a security issue so i tried executing it with sudo but it didn't help...
anyone knows how to solve this?

is there a good place to post these kind of questions?

Thanks
