So, what is the idea behind desktop coordinate? It doesn’t seem to be used as far as I have seen. Also, is the behavior in 1) to be expected? I mean, why is the path in SVG not “transformed” in coordinate before it’s being displayed on desktop?
Desktop coordinates are only used in the UI, for example in the X/Y controls in the selector tool and on the rulers.
The desktop coordinate system is basically a very old design mistake that is very hard to fix. We are planning to remove it for Inkscape 1.0.
