As I suspected it was totally my mistake. I tried to see the method in
irb and used 'Gnome::CanvasItem.methods' for that. But
'affine_absolute' can be called only on instance so I should have used
'Gnome::CanvasItem.instance_methods'. For the same reason I had to
create an instance first and not to call
'Gnome::CanvasItem.affine_absolute'.

Silly me :)
