this can also be triggered by running dogtail-recorder in a terminal and trying to record some actions.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I need to get the location of an object/node(an icon) present inside a Window and print it.
I used,
ext = node.extents
print 'X, Y co-ordinates %d %d' %(ext[0] , ext[1])

I got the Error, pyspi.pyx : TypeError : an integer is required

Below is the full error description,

Traceback (most recent call last):
