In Clim 2.0 (Allegro beta2):

It seems as though the function output-record-position
returns the position relative to the record's parent.  If
true, then I am surprised this function appears in clim's API.
I can think of no use for this coordinate system other than
in the guts of clim.  The function should be called
output-record-relative-position.

What I wanted is apparently called
convert-from-relative-to-absolute-coordinates.  This is also
a misnomer, since I can't give it anything to 'convert'.
It should have been called output-record-position or
output-record-absolute-position.
