Hi,
I don't know if this is a bug or nor, or related to gnome or inkscape, but the other day I tried to copy a drawing from one document to another.
I copied the element in one document, changed focus to the other element, but when pasting I didn't get the expected result.
What happened was that I pasted the latest copied element in the other document. I've also tried to drag the drawing, but that didn't work either, as that wasn't possible.
Again: I am not sure if this is related to inkscape.
This is a known problem in Inkscape, you can't copy/paste from two different instances of the application. You can copy only if the second instance is started using File->New from the first one.
Could inkscape be made to check if it's aready running and not open new instances? I've never really understood the need for multiple instances in any application that can handle multiple files/windows.
