Place some guidelines on the page. Make several passes across the guidelines 
with the group, unclicking the mouse button between passes. You will see the 
objects move in relation to each other. Make sure "Snap to Guidelines" is 
enabled.

I created the SVG files in Sodipodi (ver.0.32), saving them in both native 
SodipodiSVG and plainSVG. They will not import into 1.1.3. All I see is a 
little icon and a dotted outline that seem endless. When I place the icon, it 
disappears and nothing happens. I'll keep trying.
