Done. Many thanks. Please check and let me know if it's okay :)
Where did you change it?  You didn't put it the SVN repository.

And whatever you've done doesn't seem to be working.  Perhaps it needs to be put just below the line RewriteEngine On.  The mod_rewrite stuff is really weird on that server - at the end of last year I put in a rule which should have made http://wiki.inkscape.org/favicon.ico not redirect to http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/favicon.ico - which gives a 404 - and it doesn't work.  And I don't understand why - the syntax is all correct and it should work fine.
