I can confirm this.

Little CMS is (just) a library for color management. The question is
whether and how it is used by Inkscape.

I booted a SUSE Linux, installed the Inkscape packages, and when I ran
it for the first time I could choose monitor and printer profiles via
the drop-down lists. Then I copied a birthday card I made on Windows to
the SUSE laptop, opened this file, and the drop-down lists were as
unusable as on Windows. Furthermore, the drop-down lists continue to be
unusable...

Apart from unexpectedly strange-looking gradient fills, fonts turned out
to be another problem in an SVG-Scribus-PDF/X-3 work flow. Due to the
PDF 1.3 specification, you can't use transparency. In this context, the
standard transparency in gradient fills is of particular usefulness. If
Scribus' pre-press check states the use of transparency in polyline 15,
how do you locate it in Inkscape?

I spent a considerable amount of time on printing issues as well as on
guessing functionality, e.g. of Filter Effects, whereby it is most
annoying that you have to do this as if you were the first one ever.

Is there an experienced user willing to coordinate and one of the
developers willing to participate to write a paper, e.g. on printing?
