Finally, just some thoughts about the near-future integration with Inkscape:
Ideally, I'd like to begin merging Inkscape with Inkboard only when all of the bugs have been ironed out of the Inkboard code. That's rather unrealistic, though, especially since the act of merging may expose new bugs anyway! :) So it may be a good idea to create a new branch in the Inkscape codebase specifically for integration with Inkboard, and then merge branches when an acceptable level of robustness is achieved.
Well, being a separate branch is almost like being in a different repository. I think that a better option would to be add the Jabber functionality as a configure option, which defaults to off. This way it is easy for people to add, but most people won't compile it in. I can help you set this up when you're ready to add the code in.

PS - I think the star/spiral stuff might be a namespace issue. You might be only getting parameters in the svg: namespace, not the sodipodi: and inkscape: namespaces.
