Arrgh. someone has to create it, either Gtk or app. If Gtk is unwilling to revisit their decision, the responsibility of creating the dir then falls to to the app (Inkscape). Am I wrong?

When I loaded a file created in Inkscape on Linux (Xubuntu 11.10).

OK, it's in the .svgz file:
   name="GRACoL2006_Coated1_GCR_bas.icc"
   xlink:href="/usr/share/color/icc/GRACoL2006_Coated1_GCR_bas.icc"
where the full path is hard-coded.

It'd be nice if Inkscape could devise a platform-independant file structure where the default system paths are checked for "system files" like ICC profiles, etc. The objective would be to make a truly portable drawing file (i.e. JPEGs and PNGs just work anywhere).

Quite right.

Sure, but please consider my replies to 1 and 2.

Thanks again for Inkscape and your quick reply.
