Tree getAbsoluteLeft()/getAbsoluteTop() doesn't return correct values? about gwt HOT 11 CLOSED

The problem is that IE starts its window at 2,2 rather than 0,0 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/getboundingclientrect.asp

Fixed by added -2 to getAbsoluteLeft and getAbsoluteTop

  I am not sure that this is correct fix.

1. I use IE6 and problems in MSDN tells that (2,2) is reported on IE5
2. Different is not (2,2), but (0,20).

The implementation of getAbsoluteLeft had already changed before this bug was looked
at. By the time this bug was repro'd, the tests were only 2 off. I would be very
curious if the following fix, patched into DOMImplIE6, does not work for you.

public native int getAbsoluteLeft(Element elem) /*-{
    // Offset needed as IE starts the window's upper left as 2,2 rather than 0,0
    return elem.getBoundingClientRect().left - 2;
  }-*/;   

Minor detail, shouldn't it be Milestone-1_2_RC?

Just for future reference, it appears that the (2, 2) offset can be found in the
clientLeft/clientTop on the documentElement (standard mode) or body (quirks mode)
element.

In other words either in standard mode:
  $doc.documentElement.clientLeft == 2
  $doc.documentElement.clientTop  == 2

And in quirks mode:
  $doc.body.clientLeft == 2
  $doc.body.clientTop  == 2
