Bug Description

scenario 1: reload

- Inkscape r12676
- draw circle using ctrl drag
- note that XML editor calls it a svg:circle as expected
- use Select tool to drag it into an ellipse
- note that XML editor still says svg:circle even though the sodipodi attributes are ellipse
- save file and reload it and note that the XML editor now says svg:ellipse as expected

scenario 2: multiple draws

- load Inkscape and draw circle to confirm that you get svg:circle
- load Inkscape and draw ellipse to confirm that you get svg:ellipse
- load Inkscape, set start angle non-zero, and draw ellipse to confirm that you get svg:path as expected
- now do multiple draws:
- load Inkscape, set start angle = 0, and draw circle to get an svg:circle
- now draw an ellipse immediately and get an svg:path instead of the expected svg:ellipse. Note that the sodipodi attributes are appropriate for an ellipse, not a path.
- now save and reload and confirm that the svg:path has been automatically converted to an svg:ellipse as expected
