Could you outline the plan of how this will be achieved in the next
week?  How is Simarilius' time availability?  If he's busy, is there
someone else with time that could help?

Also, if this work did not get done, does this result in a regression
compared with 0.45.1?  (I'm guessing not, but figured it should be
asked.)  If we're clear in listing it as a "known issue", how
significant of a hinderance will this be for users?  Are there ways they
could achieve the effect manually or with an extension, or workaround
the lack some other way?

Thanks,
Bryce


An early patch is committed that does "normal shape" containing blur in  the PS via cairo exporter.
Many thanks to simarilius!
current issues, in the order of the priority:
1)add additional needed transformations
2)implement this code in the PDF via cairo exporter,
3)fix the problem that bbox for is truncated  https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168385 and others
4)test on all items for blur(filters)
5)review code
help needed on 2)-probably Miklosh? 3) probably Niko Kiirala? and 5)
HTH,
Adib.
