OK. So maybe it would make sense to update demo-item.c to position
itself with the matrix instead. (I was just using the implementation
of the demo as documentation so far and I found the non-matrix
positioning in demo-item.c and the use of goo_canvas_item_animate
elsewhere, and got confused when the didn't work together.)

Wait, which function is documented incorrectly? Is that animate or
translate? That sounds like the "relative vs. absolute" problems I ran
into.
