Answer 1

I found that if I derive a new class and reimpliment the paint function I can do

void MyDerivedQGraphicsItem::paint(QPainter *painter, 
                                   const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem *option, 
                                   QWidget *widget)
{
  double scaleValue = scale();
  double scaleX = painter->transform().m11();
  setScale(scaleValue / scaleX);
  QGraphicsSvgItem::paint(painter,option,widget);
}

This is the best way of doing it that I have found so far, but I am still tinkering around.
