Bug Description

Install inkscape and all the related openclipard packages (including create-ressources)

1) Start a new document with inkscape
2) Choose file > Import from the OpenClipart library
3) Type "bwm" and insert the first clipart into your document (the picture of a blue car)
4) Save your document and close inkscape
5) Clean your /tmp folder by "rm /tmp/*.png" and "rm /tmp/*.svg" (it can also be done by a simple reboot)
6) Open your document with inkscape : the picture is replaced by a red cross "Linked image not found".

This is a pretty serious bug as it makes the use of openclipart completely unusable in Inkscape. I saw a collegua working one full day on a document and, the day after, its work was completely destroyed = loosing data !
