Most likely, you ask for the coordinates before the menu item is fully rendered. Try using a Scheduler (GWT: Timer and Scheduler Classes) to wait until the menu item is fully rendered and then ask for the coordinates inside the execute method.

Thanks, but no the menu has been fully rendered for some seconds already – user1176505 Dec 25 '14 at 16:55
Did you try my suggestion? I meant the menu item is fully rendered, not the menu. – Andrei Volgin Dec 25 '14 at 18:04
Thanks, but the MenuItem has already been fully rendered and visible for several seconds so I'm already trying this after a delay – user1176505 Dec 25 '14 at 19:04
