Bug Description

When importing a PDF into Inkscape, the gradient colors can be wrong. See attached a screenshot showing, on the right, the PDF rendered by MacOS Preview (could be any other PDF viewer, all have the right colors, i.e. full red-to-blue visible light spectrum), and on the left, the result of importing this PDF into Inkscape 0.46 for MacOS Tiger.

I checked this in 19422 in Linux and is not imported correctly (got the same result as FX). Both evince and acroread have no problems rendering the gradient.
