So, I tried this and it doesn't seem to work.  The picture below shows an
example of an object with a gradient x texture_map with leopard and bricks as
the sub-textures.  The middle picture applies a turbulence just to the gradient
pattern.  The 3rd picture applies a negative turbulence to each of the
sub-textures first.
