[Inkscape-user] Problems with SVG

I'm not sure if it's my browsers (I'm certain it is) or the image itself (fairly certain it isn't), but I thought I'd ask for opinions.

I made a real basic image[1] (just trying to get used to the controls) and decided to check it out in my favorite browser (and the other two I have installed). I was not happy with the results[2]-[4]. IE8 just tries to download the file!
