Just to throw it out there, I'd maybe look at dbus for the "business end" of the button. AFAIK, it's a way to access gui elements with scripts.
You should be able to write a script (perl, bash, etc.) and have it perform the required inkscape tasks (plus whatever upload, processing, etc.) you need.
I'm no expert on it, but I used it once a while back and I think it'll get you where you want to go.
I think that leaves only the display-button-and-have-it-run-a-script problem. Don't know what your requirements are on that (where that button needs to be placed), but, if it were me, I'd go with a gnome or kde panel for that button...then it's just a launcher.
