I am not sure here, but to me it looks like the problem stems from the
fact that your code relies on NSZeroPoint being the origin of the
window. But when calling this method on the view the handed in point
will first be translated to window coordinates which may take the window
border into account, depending on whether GNUstep is handling it or not.
You could easily work around this by calling the same method on _window
instead of self.
