Any tiff file did it - I tried about 10 different files - the problem was unique to the settings but if there was more black than white it would trace. In other words a line drawing on white paper wouldn't trace, but if you took the tiff picture, inverted the colors in GIMP then brought it back to Inkscape it would trace. .
Because I needed tracing, I've gone to Debian Jaunty. One of the project's I've been involved with - VINUX has changed from Ubuntu to Debian because of the pulse-audio problem with Orca. VINUX is for sight impaired users - it is fabulous.
