unwanted entries in preferences.xml

[Alvin Penner]

running win32 build from May 8
- every time I open Inkscape I get a new, unwanted entry in the preferences file, in the section : toolbox | tools
- the entry looks like this : small="1">
- no action is required to produce this, simply opening and closing Inkscape will generate a new entry
- I edited the preferences file to remove these entries, and after four loads and unloads of Inkscape got the following result :

  <group
     id="toolbox"
     icononly="1"
     secondary="1"
     small="1">
     small=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
    <group
   id="tools"
   icononly="1"
   small="0" />

     small=&quot;1&quot;&gt;

     small=&quot;1&quot;&gt;

     small=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
    </group>

This appears to be related to the changes that Jon Cruz recently made to the options for toolbar icon sizes, so I'm assigning this to him.

[Jon A. Cruz (jon-joncruz)]

It's not anything *directly* in the toolbar icon pref code. It is most likely either a bug in the PrefCombo class in preferences-widget.cpp, or a problem with recent changes to the XML writing. If it is the latter, the symptom might show up in a few places other than the preferences file.

Confirmed this also occurs on Linux (Ubuntu 8.04). Potentially a significant issue if the XML writing is to blame.
