... so as to allow one clearly defined (absolute) positioning mode
that can cater for a variety of absolute but also relative positioning
with respect to edge or center.
Set positioning-mode=pixels-absolute to allow positioning with
absolute coordinates, meaning negative x/y offsets will be
interpreted as being to the left/above the video frame instead
of being interpreted as relative to the right/bottom edge of
the video frame (which is a silly default, but that's how it is).
This means we can nicely slide images into and out of the frame,
see gdkpixbufoverlay-test.
