GV can view it.
Converted to pdf acrobat reader can view it.
Inkscape only gets a black background.
Is there a way to manipulate this image in inkscape?

I could view in evince (linux document viewer), but like you, it only
came up black in Inkscape:
$ apt-cache policy inkscape
inkscape:
Installed: 0.48.0-1ubuntu1.1

OpenOffice.org (Draw) where it viewed
