confirmed on Windows XP.
however, unfortunately, this is a uniconvertor issue, not an Inkscape issue, see for example : http://sk1project.org/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=19

If there is no objection, I will mark this as Invalid so that it gets taken off the list of things to do. If you feel this is an error, please feel free to re-open the report or contact the developer of uniconvertor at : http://sk1project.org/forum/viewforum.php?forum_id=6

I've reported this on the uniconvertor bug tracker: http://code.google.com/p/sk1/issues/detail?id=20

It would be helpful if Inkscape developers could pass on bugs encountered in Inkscape tools to the relevant bug-trackers so that they can get fixed.

I've got the same problem on Ubuntu 10.04

[tiger (tiger66)]

I've a solution on Ubuntu :

- first, download http://sk1project.org/dc.php?target=python-sk1libs-0.9.1_0ubuntu1_10.04_amd64.deb
     open with gdebi and install
- then install http://sk1project.org/dc.php?target=python-uniconvw-1.1.5_0ubuntu1_10.04_amd64.deb
- and install http://sk1project.org/dc.php?target=python-uniconvertor-1.1.5_0ubuntu1_10.04_amd64.deb

it seams to work !
