Bug Description
The "Cancel" button does not properly halt execution of Inkscape extensions.
This is not normally noticeable because extensions execute quickly. But for extensions that take a while-- i.e., those that you'd want to cancel --it turns out not to work. It appears to wait (possibly a very long time) for the extension to finish executing before stopping the operation.

Note added:
Another way to describe the issue is that Inkscape *appears to freeze* when you try to cancel an extension operating. However, it is a temporary freeze in the cases that I have tested.
