My understanding is that inkscape is using its own internal svg

Inkscape uses Cairo AFAIK.
So we end up doing
reasonably good artist svg work in this fabulous svg oriented
application..but when we go to render the svg's later via rsvg, we
don't get the results we expect. I'm guessing the KDE svg-basic
thingie has similar problems.
Are we actually using svg for the icons? I was under the
impression the artists are exporting them to PNG to various
sizes (under the standard icon themes in
/usr/share/gnome/icons follow) so that they match the pixel
grid.
Even if the SVG renderer is perfect and flawless, it will
never beat the artist hand-tweaking the artwork to render
within the pixel grid per icon size.
