Bug Description
Saving an Inkscape SVG as a PDF file seems to result in unreasonably
large file sizes, in the range of 20 MB. I've observed this behavior in
multiple files, all of which consist mostly of lines and imported PNG
images. When the same SVG is imported into Scribus and then saved as a
PDF, the resulting file is much smaller, on the order of 100 KB, but of the
same apparent quality.
I'm using Inkscape 0.45 on Windows XP, SP2, although the same behavior
may exist with other platforms and versions.

Please attach a sample SVG that gives you huge PDF (including all linked
PNGs).
