How to move a GnomeCanvasGroup?

[Arturo Tena <arturo directmail org>]

Hello!

I want to move a GnomeCanvasGroup to the coordenates (x,y), but using the
following code doesn't rerender its children on the canvas:


GnomeCanvasItem *citem; /* This is a GnomeCanvasGroup */
double x, y;
/* ... */
gnome_canvas_item_set (citem, "x", x, "y", y, NULL);


(I have had used gtk_object_set, but I remember that GnomeCanvasItem doesn't
watch for argument changes, which I was told is a bug that will be corrected
soon). I have to use the following code instead:


GnomeCanvasItem *citem; /* This is a GnomeCanvasGroup */
double x, y;
double old_x, old_y;
/* ... */
gtk_object_get (citem, "x", &old_x, "y", &old_y, NULL);
gnome_canvas_item_move (citem, -old_x, -old_y);
gnome_canvas_item_move (citem, x, y);


My questions are:

1. Is this a bug or a feature?
2. Is there any chance to get a gnome_canvas_item_move_absolute call, instead
the relative gnome_canvas_item_move?


Sorry if this questions has been asked before. Any pointer to documentation
about it will be happily recieved.
