StatusIcon.getGeometry

Obtains information about the location of the status icon on screen. This information can be used to e.g. position popups like notification bubbles.

See Status.iconPositionMenu for a more convenient alternative for positioning menus.

Note that some platforms do not allow GTK+ to provide this information, and even on platforms that do allow it, the information is not reliable unless the status icon is embedded in a notification area, see Status.iconIsEmbedded.
