http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/148802 This patch uses getBoundingClientRect on modern WebKit browsers for getAbsoluteTop and getAbsoluteLeft. Sadly, we still support Safari3 so I had to do this via runtime check (so we can use the old crazy impl for Safari3). However, this is still well worth the change for Safari4 and Chrome.
