Bryce, I spend some time making a toy app as you suggested. It's giving 
confusing results, but I hope it will help the list help me! Attached.

System info:
valac 0.20.1
cairo114.vapi

On my system I compile it with:
valac --pkg cairo -X -w mailing_list_matrix_testbed.vala -o test
And run:
./test yes #will do the cersion with the formulas
./test #will use device_to_user
then view the output png:
feh img.png

It's confusing because *both* versions do the same wrong thing! I was 
not expecting that. The odd oscillation in the numbers is at work.

Thanks, I will dispense with these calls in favour of a direct 
set_matrix in the future, when I can tell the trees from the woods.


Thanks for all the patience so far, I worry that I'm not comprehending 
fast enough!
