I've been playing around with trying to extract the x,y screen coordinates
of the text cursor in the body but I've come up short. I found QTextCursor
but it's position method does not give screen coordinates like QCursor does
with its pos method.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

c.frame.body.widget.cursorRect()
will give you the location of the cursor relative to the text body, I think
relative to the top left corner. I think that:
c.frame.body.widget.getContentsMargins() also needs to be factored into
this, ie added to whatever you get from cursorRect()
What I can't
Since Leo works with PyQT/Qt, a look there might help, i.e.

While this is definitely interesting and useful it's not the mouse position
that we're looking for but the text cursor position.
However I think this put me on the right track.
So c.frame.body.widget.cursorRect() will provide something
like: PyQt4.QtCore.QRect(52, 4, 3, 26)
if that were assign
BTW, thank you Reinhard for getting me moving in the right direction.
Knowledgeable as always :)
