Inkscape-0.45.1 does not handle em,ex,% units for <text> positioning.

I see that there is no UI for doing that in Inkscape itself, but at least
the import should handle this.

For example this works for rectangles:
 <rect x="0" y="1em" width="2em" height="1em" style="fill: red;"/>
 <rect x="0" y="3em" width="2em" height="1em" style="fill: blue;"/>

but the same is not possible with text:

 <text x="100" y="5em">text1</text>
 <text x="100" y="7em">text2</text>

The value for y is not converted, but ignored.
Both lines overlap.

(btw: this is one reason why currently bootchart output is not imported
correctly)
