Bug Description

The new PDF+LaTeX export is awesome, but I've come across a problem. According to "How to include an SVG image in LaTeX" by Johan Engelen, text flowed in a rectangular frame should be supported. I tried this but get the error, "** (inkscape:7406): WARNING **: LaTeX export: non-rectangular flowed text shapes are not supported, skipping text.", which is weird because I'm pretty sure my shape is a rectangle.

I've attached a simple example that fails to export correctly. I'm using the trunk branch at revision 9295 on Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit.

I think the problem is that the flowregion is a clone instead of an "internal" rectangle.
