Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

The Create Launcher application (which can be opened by right-clicking on the 
desktop or by adding an applet to the panel) does not allow selecting SVGs via 
the custom icon browser once you click on "Browse" even though the "Browse
Icons" dialog lists them.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Create Launcher
2. Click on the icon button
3. Click "Browse..." at the top
4. Try to select an SVG

I filed a bug in gnome
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581158) but it was marked as
invalid with the following comments:

  Nautilus isn't doing anything special here. It just calls
  gtk_file_filter_add_pixbuf_formats() to add all of the formats supported by
  GdkPixbuf to the file chooser's list. If that doesn't include SVG's, it's
  probably a configuration problem (it works perfectly fine here). You need to
  installed LibRSVG to support rendering SVG images in Gdk (as I'm not aware of
  any other plugin that currently supports rendering SVGs).

I checked to see if I had livrsvg installed, and I do.
