I've committed a fix for this upstream (r15167 of SVN). Though this won't help until we package a newer version of inkscape (say 0.46) for Debian.
Some alternatives if we want to address this bug for Debian earlier: - Apply the patch to 0.45.1 in Debian. - Change libgnomevfs' approach to getting its home dir: either: - Change libgnomevfs to check $HOME before calling g_get_home_dir. - Change libglib2.0 implementation of g_get_home_dir to give priority to $HOME like it did in previous versions. This carries the risk of breaking other things, but OTOH it can act as a test for how safe it is for upstream to use this behaviour. Should drop a note to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142568 if taking this option. - Make libglib2.0 give priority to $HOME but only on buildd's. pjrm. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
