public bool get_iter_at_position (out TextIter iter, out int trailing, int x, int y)
Retrieves the iterator pointing to the character at buffer coordinates x and y.
Buffer coordinates are coordinates for the entire buffer, not just the currently-displayed portion. If you have coordinates from an event, you have to convert those to buffer coordinates with window_to_buffer_coords.
Note that this is different from get_iter_at_location, which returns cursor locations, i.e. positions between characters.
