Thanks Andres!
Looks like the main problem was incorrect placement of the "glasspane"
rectangle within the canvas.
Executing the addGlassPane() method from the new tutorial and dumping the
resulting
SVG file showed me exactly what I was doing wrong.
A nice clear, concise additon to the batik wiki !
Thanks again,
Ted

Hi Ted:
I have created a simple tutorial depicting this kind of situation, and
i have posted it in the batik wiki:
http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-batik/BackgroundGlassPaneTutorial
Hope this small tutorial is of some help for you.
Andres.
