Well, I wouldn't want my Inkscape preferences deleted by an automatic process
when I didn't know it was going to happen...
However, a better way may be to set "HOME=`pwd`"[1] at the start of processing,
so you keep separate inkscape preferences for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] stuff. (Or
equivalent on
Windows.)
Incidentally, it also needs to unset the DISPLAY variable as this causes
problems with Inkscape if set. Recent Inkscape has a "don't use X" option
("-z"), but older versions may not.
Thanks,

[1] Actually, something like "export HOME=$(dirname `readlink -f $TAH_PROG`)"
would be safer, in case not run from the tilesAtHome directory.
