Greetings,
I'm fairly new to Linux, and we're running RHEL in a virtualized environment.
After much searching and various attempts, I haven't come across a standard way to specify that Inkscape is the preferred editor for SVG files.
I also can't get it to show up as an option in the Open With... context menu choice in Win7 64-bit.
Clues?

I suggest installing Inkscape 0.48.5 on your linux partition (if you haven't done this already). and simply starting up Inkscape in linux and opening the svg file from the file menu of Inkscape. I don't depend on the default editor for different types of files. I fire up the editor I want and then open the file. If it is an svg file I just fire up Inkscape and open the file usng the file menu. Virtualization can be an unnecessary step that causes problems.
