Comment 16 for bug 204779

The comments above indicate that some think this should be fixed in packaging. Not sure it's so easy, but hopefully.

Our other hope is to patch Inkscape itself. Adib's patch was posted in bug 187290 because this bug cropped up when people tried to test the patch for that bug. I have attached that to clear up some of the confusion.

Sadly, I had errors building it. Error below.
