localToAbsolute() is only "fragile" because if you are querying for
the position of a renderobject inside an iframe, it is not relative to
mainFrame but to the currentFrame. I've done it like below:

static inline IntRect absoluteRenderRect(RenderObject* render)
{
    ASSERT(render);
    // FIXME: This function is flawed because it doesn't consider the
effects of CSS or SVG transforms.

    IntRect rect(render->absoluteClippedOverflowRect());

    // handle nested frames.
    for (Frame* frame = render->document()->frame(); frame; frame =
frame->tree()->parent())
        if(HTMLFrameOwnerElement* ownerElement = frame->ownerElement())
            rect.move(ownerElement->renderer()->offsetLeft(),
ownerElement->renderer()->offsetTop());

    return rect;
}


maybe there is a better way , but ...
