Hi all!

I thought I'd help by looking at this issue, hope that's okay :)

I have Ubuntu 10.10 and Inkscape 0.48.0 r9654

A. 1. Opened drawing-2.svg in Inkscape GUI
    2. Saved As drawing-2.wmf
    3. File-->Open-->drawing-2.wmf - results: object was oriented at lower left corner
Test A successful

B. 1. Closed & reopened Inkscape GUI
     2. File-->Open--> drawing-2.wmf
Test B successful

C. 1. Right-clicked on drawing-2.wmf file icon in file system list, selected open with Inkscape
Test C successful

D. 1. Closed Inkscape GUI
    2. Opened terminal & issued 'inkscape -f drawing-2.wmf' - received error message:
"Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed.  The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected."
in the error message box was:
"UniConvertor failed:
ERROR: drawing-2.wmf file is not found!
UniConvertor 1.1.4

   4. Confirmed that file was in directory, opened Inscape GUI, File-->Open-->drawing-2.svg (confirmed directory location). File open successful
Test D failed at step 3.

Hope this helps...

I'm fairly certain that this is a Windows 7 issue, and I don't remember there
being a fix for it. It happens on my machine as well. Inkscape uses
Uniconvertor to do this conversion. As a workaround, you could download and
install Uniconvertor directly, available from (I believe 1.1.5 is the latest
version):
