Anyone willing to help with testing/reviewing? IMHO this would fix an annoying issue with linked offsets.

It would be great to have it merged into trunk before another pending merge (gsoc-cairo) possibly requires yet again a rewrite, as well as backporting the fix to the 0.48.x branch for 0.48.2 (if doable).

Fix some issues with linked offsets. Changed the rendering of the offset to take into account the transformation of the source object, as is the case with the use element, and copied the move compensation logic from uses to offsets. There is a speed penalty though because of this, since I cannot find a reliable method to predict whether there is a change to the source object data or a transformation applied to it.

The second patch removes an optimization I implemented using the transform event, since this event is not emitted on undo and redo actions.
