Gradient and Text

[Vincent Hardy <vi...@eng.sun.com>]

Ok, so I found why we do not pass the BE on text. Currently, the 
TextPainter is invoked after the transform has been modified in 
the TextNode's primitivePaint method. The net result is that the Paint
and the ACI are in different spaces which causes the problem. There 
is an easy way to correct this: the TextPainter should also be
passed the location at which the text should be drawn and use this
to paint the text at the appropriate location. This will keep the 
text and paint attributes in the same space and solve the problem.
It is quite late, so I am not going to do this just now, but I will
do it tomorow, unless someone objects.
Thanks.
