Are there any command line options for the inkscape executable to convert PDF to SVG?

I just fixed it in SVN (rev 18892) so now this will work:

inkscape file.pdf --export-plain-svg=file.svg

It will take the first page of the PDF and all the default import options. Before, it crashed because it tried to open the PDF import preferences dialog and could not do it in the command line mode.
