We never did that because it is utterly pointless.

By definition, the window coordinates can only mean anything in the window 
provider. And the window provider already knows those values, needs not have 
core callbacks to receive its own events.

As the obvious example, if you want to draw something where the pointer is, 
you will either need:
- the window handle and the coordinates relative to the window (if compositing 
is involved, this won't even match the video area coordinates), or
- absolute coordinates (relative to root window).
