Bug#221596: gtk_text_view_get_iter_location() always returns incorrect y value

[Andrew Pam]

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.2.4-2

Please note:  This bug supercedes bug #220547
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=220547

gtk_text_view_get_iter_location() always returns rect.y == rect.height
rather than the correct value, as demonstrated by this test program:
