Is it indeed desired to make a backport?
If a lot of stable versions of distros shipped 0.41, the distro people might value it. But it would be good to notify them. and maybe issue some sort of security advisory or something.
This bug affects 0.41 and 0.42.x, but not 0.40 or current CVS.
I've made a patch and have applied it to RELEASE_0_41_BRANCH and RELEASE_0_42_BRANCH, but haven't tested it (due to lack of hard disk space... must get a new hard drive some day). Can someone else test?
What distributions have shipped inkscape 0.41 or 0.42.x ? Debian, gentoo, winlibre, SuSE/Novell (?); any others?
What's the right procedure for organizing a coordinated release of the fix?
