Comment 4 for bug 642417

Well thanks for you reply. I am using Ubuntu Karmic. I have put the
graphic within the boundaries and same thing happens. I fetched the
program from the repositories and the program self installed. Version 0.47.

I did as you suggested. Resized page. Happens on all .svg files. Still this:

/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/gimp_xcf.py:98: DeprecationWarning:
os.popen3 is deprecated. Use the subprocess module.
  _,f,err = os.popen3(command,'r')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/gimp_xcf.py", line 173, in <module>
    e.affect()
  File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex.py", line 207, in affect
    self.effect()
  File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/gimp_xcf.py", line 167, in effect
    x = open(xcf, 'r')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/tmp/tmp2oMHQp/CleanVoltLogoBC.xcf'

Not looking to irritate you. Just looking for a solution.

Regards,
Frank Hack
