I tested it and it works for me, so I vote for including it into 0.46. The only problem is that after the effect has run it says "cannot determine format, opening as svg", but I think other effects also suffer from this (is there a bug on this?).

This is caused by GTK+ creating the temp file incorrectly, it appends the random text on the end instead of the middle. It should be fixed in newer versions of GTK+.

The extension should be able to hide it using popen3:

[dontcare, care, dontcare2] = os.popen3('command')

That'll swallow STDERR and STDIN.
