"Everaldo: OK, in the beginning I used Corel Draw 9, running in Linux and gimp, but as Corel stopped developing corel for Linux and version 9 did not have a good support for SVG, I moved to adobe illustrator, which up to this moment proved to be the best software to draw vetorial graphics in SVG and photoshop replaced gimp. Unfortunately the SVG generated by illustrator is not a 100% compatible with KDE. The problem is the transparency modes "multiply" and "hard light" are not understood by KDE, they are very useful and needed for the creation of light and shadow in my icons."
That was in 2004. Seven years later we are finally close to having this bloody nuisance fixed.
