I guess it has all the icons already but doesn't have even a non-svg loader. The annoying part with GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE is that if we wrap it, it can't be extended by the user given the variable takes a single value; so suppose we wrap it without librsvg, then Inkscape will loose the ability to load the SVG version of its icon, which probably look better on high resolution displays. Currently, I think we also cannot add librsvg to inkscape inputs, as it would introduce a cycle; we'd have to come up with a new minimal variant used by dblatex. I guess we could have a minimal and a full-blown version of Inkscape, the later which would include librsvg and wrap GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE. Thanks, Maxim
