I had mentioned earlier that there's a problem concerning gradients in svg images created by inkscape not showing up properly in Adobe Illustrator. However, this only happens when the gradient also affects the alpha channel. If I keep the opacity at 100% across the gradient, then Illustrator seems to reproduce the gradient OK. Moreover, it seems that sodipodi has no trouble with the alpha channel. So I guess I shouldn't call this a bug in inkscape - it may be a bug in Illuatrator. However, I still see one problem with inkscape: When I open some file in inkscape and choose the menu item "Effects > Fretboard Designer", and any submenu from within there, I get the following Error message: The inkex.py module requires PyXML. Please download the latest version from <http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/>. When building inkscape, I had pyxml-py24 installed. I now installed the py23 version but it didn't help (haven't rebuilt inkscape yet, though).
