Ok i managed to come up with a quick way to test that. I used a text 
shape in karbon and added some other selected shapes as childs to the 
text shape. I used the KoShapeGroupCommand for that, with very little 
fixes applied. I found a small bug regarding the calculation of the 
transformation matrix of these child shapes and already fixed that. :-)
There are still some painting glitches, for instance the painting of the 
border of a clipped child shape, which i hope to fix soon.

Ciao Jan
