I'm trying to create SVG gradient files in inkscape that gimp can read. I'm importing a PNG file and then hitting "G" for the gradient select. Then I export to a SVG file.

When gimp picks up this file, it has lost all it's color and looks like a black to transparent gradient.

I've been through the doc's and have googled this for hours now. I'm new to inkscape, so I'm probably missing something obvious.

Does anyone have any clues they can share?

System: Suse Linux 10.2/32 Gimp 2.4 (With SVG enabled) Inkscape 0.45

TIA,

Jim
