>From an end-user's perspective, I'd like to be able to cleanly import a vector
graphic into OO-Impress and be able to "break" that object into its elements so
I can use a sequence of animations to build up a technical diagram. Importing
SVG should be the logical way of achieving this, but the current SVG import
filter struggles with basic issues like:

1) text disappears (but reappears in the wrong location after a "break" 
operation")
2) open paths become closed
3) even a simple 2-point path seems to be constructed as a filled closed path of
its outline (rather than a 2-point path with the correct width, arrowheads, 
etc).

These aren't advanced things like opacity, gradients, etc (which the OO Wiki
specifies as unsupported features), but are pretty fundamental attributes of
vector graphics (simple paths, etc).

I get slightly better results by doing a ".odg" export from Inkscape (although
open paths still become closed, arrowheads are lost) and the imported graphic
still needs a lot of manual fixing each time. This is frustrating enough that
I'd be forced back to Microsoft Windows/Powerpoint/Visio (if I could afford 
it!).
