[PATCH] "proper" panning (was Re: panning issue)

[Jorg Heymans <jh...@domek.be>]

Attached patch seems to do the trick ok.

There is just one (cosmetic) thing : batik does not repaint the shape 
straight away after you've partially panned it off the canvas, and then 
pan it back in. The part that panned off the canvas only gets redrawn 
when you stop panning.

I don't know if this can be easily fixed somehow.

WDYT about the approach? I don't know how to run the testsuite so i 
don't know whether this patch introduces any regressions.

Regards
Jorg
