Bulia, I am not a developer but I found the bug and I'm very interested in getting it fixed. What can I do to help? I can certainly test builds and try specific things that people might suggest. I am running Win2000 sp4 and the current nightly build (0712071739) still has the problem for me.
As far as using Inkscape is concerned, the unsetting occurs after the gradient is established. Anything that is done then to the object results in unsetting.
Note that when a clone is created before the gradient then the clone can be rotated etc and the gradient stays intact. The parent still unsets if it is messed with.
cheers, Erik kaver@...68...

I would be grateful to anyone who can debug on Windows for any help with this critical bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/169011
I don't develop on Windows and I have no time to set it all up right now, but the bug seems somewhere in the style code which I know well, so if someone can tell me at least approximately where or when the unsetting happens I will probably be able to guess how to fix it.
Thanks!
