Comment 4 for bug 169011

Originator: NO

Over the last week I have installed the latest nightly builds and every
one has shown the same behaviour with respect to gradients.
The gradient whether linear or radial can be put onto the object.
Then as soon as anything is done to the object the fill is "unset" and the
object goes black.
Anything includes moving, duplicating, rotating etc.
The rotation etc occurs and then the fill is "unset" when the selector is
released.
My system is win2000.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the nightly versions until I'm blue in
the face with no change in the behaviour.
The stable version of 0.45 1-1 works as I expect.
I have also installed both stable and build 071030 versions in a laptop
running win2000 and the same problem appears.

I find it hard to believe that no one else has experienced this problem,
and if it is just me then waht the hell am I doing wrong?

In all other respects that I have tested Inkscape appears to be working
normally.
