Comment 13 for bug 492773

Here's an extension to work around this problem in Inkscape 0.47.

To install, download the two files above (eps_output_workaround.inx and eps_fixup.py) and put them in your Inkscape extensions directory (on Windows this may be C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions). The next time that Inkscape is started, there should be an "EPS workaround" option in the Save As dialog. This should produce EPS files without the extraneous movetos.

This is just a quick hack, and I haven't tested it much, but it works with the example file Source.svg above.
