Comment 7 for bug 1214182

running Windows 7 (32 bit) and Inkscape 0.48.4, I am unable to reproduce the problem using multiple drag and drops and deletions as described.

- just two quick questions. when you say' Position the two images and export', how is the export done? Are you saving as svg, or as Cairo png, or are you using the option 'Export Bitmap'?
- instead of dragging and dropping, could you try to do a file Import instead? I believe this functions the same as drag and drop, except that the final position may need to be adjusted. The reason I am asking is because there are situations on my machine where drag and drop does not work. For example, if I start Inkscape from a DOS prompt, it appears that drag and drop does not work, while the File Import will still work.
