What am I doing wrong?
I'm not sure on this one, I'm guessing it is because you're missing some
of the python development libraries. I know that I had to find
something rather obscure -- but I don't remember what it was. Anyone?
And I have a second question. Last night I added the following to my
~/.inkscape/preferences.xml file:
<group
show-effects-menu="1"
id="extensions" />
I can now see the effects menu, but the effects (for instance
"DropShadow") don't seem to affect anything. What is the proceedure for
using these effects?
Well, probably your issue with that one is that you have to have the
object selected that you want to put the drop shadow on. So, if there
is a square in the middle of the screen, you can select it, hit drop
shadow, and you'll have one. The reason that they're turned off by
default is that they're not user friendly yet :) Also, the "Blur Edges"
effect requires that the selected object be a path (Object to Path
first).
