Hi, we have some icons which are made in inkscape but render differently in RSVG,
Most (all?) of the applications on Linux are using RSVG, so I was wondering if there is a good way to determine if this is some special inkscape feature or a bug/limitation in RSVG.

Note that RSVG seems to fail on groups that have alpha masking.
Neither Inkscape nor RSVG are 100% perfect implementations of the SVG specification, but they are deficient in different areas, and that usually accounts for deltas in rendering output.
Since the icons were made in inkscape, offhand I'd guess that some Inkscape feature (like alpha masking) was used that RSVG didn't have implemented (or which has some bug.)
