Comment 43 for bug 285267

Hi, I am using inkscape 0.48.1 (downloaded it about 2 weeks ago) and I have this same problem.
I cant see the save and open dialogues coz they are zero height.

I type a name press enter nothing happens, then I keep pressing tab and typing a name and pressing enter hoping I reach the right box but have been unsuccessful in saving anything.

How do I apply the above mentioned patches? Its just a little bit of text code? Thanks you for any help.
