I understand that GTK+ 2.8 is a dependency (even if it's bogus) but if it is and I don't have that version (or a later) of GTK+ installed, shouldn't RPM refuse to install inkscape-0.42.2-1.rpm in the first place?
Only if the automatic dependency scanner of RPM is enabled. But, this can add bogus depedencies in another way, so often it's not used. In this case I guess it was not used.
to use the product. I also assume that Inkscape eventually will be included in future distributions of Redhat, Fedora, Mandrake etc and both on their installation media as well as in their update services all software is made available as RPMs.
It already is included in many distros, but often these distributions do not offer anything but security updates after they release. So the users are stuck with out of date versions (Ubuntu does this).
Understood. However, from my experiences trying to install the 0.42.2-1 RPM, it was not particularly obvious that it was RPM's unsuitability for multi-distribution installs that was the cause to the problem. One reason for that is that for other open-source packages I've used, the precompiled RPMs have worked without any issues on my Linux laptop:
Presumably you used RPMs that were built for your specific distribution/version combination. That's the only safe way to build RPMs unless you have specific Linux binary compatibility knowledge. All RPMs in repositories are built this way for instance.
