Comment 5 for bug 239669

same here with Kubuntu 8.04 and Inkscape 0.46, with openclipart package 0.18+dfsg-5ubuntu1
 installed.
What an unpleasant surprise... please fix for Intrepid.
I agree with the reporter, the following choices would seem adequate:

1. add a preferences option for storing external clipart:
   a. inline (included with SVG)
   b. as a reference (stored in the same directory, or by a user-definable local clipart-repository)
   c. ask

(similar to Firefox when downloading files,-)
