demo text path failing

Appears to be branch and trunk

This seems to be related to the recent change by Eric.
I just submitted a modified version of demo_text_path.py.

Eric, it seems to be happened because the "_original_facecolor"
property that you introduced is not initialized in __init__ method but
in the set_facecolor method. Is there any reason that this cannot be
initialized in the __init__ method?

Just to clarify, I first thought it is better to be initialized in the
__init__ method (since then you don't need to worry about it when you
override set_facecolor method), but after second thought, this may not
be necessary.

As you found, it is initialized in the __init__ method when set_facecolor is called there. In general, I like using the "set" methods in __init__ when possible so as to reduce code duplication, and so as to make the setting of a parameter work the same with a "set" method as it does upon initialization.

Just to clarify, I first thought it is better to be initialized in the
__init__ method (since then you don't need to worry about it when you
override set_facecolor method), but after second thought, this may not
be necessary.

It looks to me like your fix of the demo is the correct way to handle the problem.
