"distribute" does not honor "relative to"

[Christopher Oezbek]

Using Inkscape 0.47 on Windows XP

1.) Create three objects and place them in a line

          A B C

2.) Select B, then A, then C

3.) Select any of the "Distribute" buttons from "Align and Distribute" for instance "distribute centers equidistantly horizontally" while "Relative To:" is set to first selected

Expected outcome: A and C are moved to be centered around B

        A B C

Actual outcome: B is moved to be centered between A and C

          A B C

Implications of bug: It is very hard to equidistantly space objects when objects need to be centered AND distributed

Sorry, ASCII Art does not fly on launchpad apparently. Example attached.

Setting to 'Wishlist' because in the current UI the option 'relative to:' belongs to 'Align' only - hence it does not affect the 'Distribute' buttons.
