Hi Romano, Actually the order of attributes does matter.
This is because, while we use a proper XML parser to load the file, the validation of attributes is done one at a time as they are encountered, to simplify things -- in the case of backgrounds, we need to know early on whether this'll be a PDF style background or a solid plain page background in order to parse the relevant attributes -- or rather we don't absolutely need to, but the code currently assumes that we receive things in the right order. This makes generating xournal-valid XML harder unfortunately, and could perhaps be changed in the future but it's not really high priority for me. So: try to doing things so the order of attributes doesn't change. The order of attributes is as indicated in http://xournal.sourceforge.net/manual.html#file-format I think, or in any case it's the order found in any xoj file. Sorry to be complicating your life!
