Gradients rendered in reverse

[Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen]

Maybe this is really an Inkscape bug, but here goes...

I was working on a wallpaper for Breezy (using Inkscape) and discovered that
EOG, gThumb and all Gnome apps reverse some of the gradients compared to what I
see in Inkscape (v0.42). The soon-to-be-attached screenshot is from a Breezy
box. Look at the lower gradient on the globe. Viewing the svg in Hoary also
caused the globe gradient to be reversed but additionally reversed one of the
gradients on the surf board...

Which one is displaying it "correctly" (doing what you expect)?

How the surfing badger looks in Hoary (with librsvg (no inkscape))

That would be Inkscape. The attachment shows how it renders in Hoary. Check out
the gradient on the board compared to the Breezy renders...

Notice the bottom gradient on the globe in Inkscape vs Eog et al.

Here is the surfing badger depicted in the various screenshots attached to this
bug.

Thanks. I've forwarded the issue upstream:

Upstream comment:

"From my estimation, the whitest bit of the bottom gradient circle should go from
the cape of good hope, through the Indian ocean and run aground somewhere in
Oman or the UAE just south of the Persian Gulf.

Could you clarify which versions of which programs do this and which ones do
not, because for some reason these pictures seem inconsistant.

Thank you."

could you reply to it?

I added the following reply to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318097.
The grand unified screenshot I refer to can be found here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=53160&action=view .

Cheers; I was othe one opening the Ubuntu bug. Everything is default Ubuntu
Breezy versions. That would be:

Inkscape: 0.42-1build1
EOG: 2.12.1-0ubuntu2
librsvg2: 2.12.5-0ubuntu1

You're correct that there are inconsistensies in my attachments. My bad. First
of all please not that https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/attachment.cgi?id=4000 does
not use the above mentioned versions.

I've attached a grand unified screenshot with the apps in question (including
about boxes and "dpkg -l librsvg2-2" output). This screenshot shows how the apps
render this attachment: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/attachment.cgi?id=4258

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

that's fixed upstream. Since the issue is minor it'll be fixed after 5.10

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

fixed with dapper version
