If we unify this method to return rect in screen coordinates, then we need to
change corresponding code in views ime implementation to match it. But the
problem is InputMethodWin requires a rect in toplevel window's coordinates
instead of screen, so it needs to convert the rect from screen coordinates back
into the toplevel window. But it might not a big issue.

Thanks. Added TODO.
