The white halo looks like a copy of the main image colored in white,
moved a little and with a heavy gaussian blur filter.

Unfortunately Inkscape has not yet the gaussian blur filter implemented
(it is under active development and expected for the next version) so
your best hope beside trying the SVN version is to simulate it somehow
with "Blur Edge" and the likes.
Or export the final image as PNG and add the glow with GIMP.
