Bug Description

This ticket is about semantic of code. I am not sure if it affects users of Inkscape, but it is a real bug in the codebase. If you set only one of x, y, dx, dy, rotate attributes of a SPText node after calling SPDocument::ensureUpToDate(), the value of the attribute will not work. Because, sp_text_update() does not update display for changing attributes just mentioned. The bug was found when I implement a new function for Inkscape. I need to call SPDocument::ensureUpToDate() to get correctly Bound Box. After that, I need to set x,y of a SPText according values of Bound Box. But, it is not work. After some studying, I work out a patch.

@Thinker - Do you see an easy way to test the patch? I would be great if we could test it from the UI...
