So I reinstalled inkscape and now have the 0.46 build April 8 2008 with Cairo.

I did a save as pdf, I did not check the convert text to path checkbox, and the pdf file is still 1.5mb.

How to check for the version of cairo...?

If you open the PDF and look in the document properties of your PDF viewer it will tell you the version of cairo that created the PDF. You can also check your distro package installer to see what version of libcairo is installed.
