SVG display in Debian

[Leo Spalteholz <leo@thewoodpecker.ca>]

Hi everyone,
I just read an interesting article about Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 
support in Linux and started visiting a few websites with SVG content to 
try it out.  I'm running KDE 3.2.1 from unstable which should have SVG 
support through ksvg (which I have installed) but Konqueror just displays 
a blank page for .svg files.  Then I heard that mozilla has svg support 
but it does the same thing (blank page instead of the graphic).  
Then I noticed that nothing is displayed in the SVG icon themes for KDE.  
Just blank where the icon is supposed to be.  I started Gnome which has an 
independent SVG implementation based on librsvg (which I also have 
installed) but nothing works there either.  SVG icons just won't display.

So this seems to be an underlying issue affecting all the SVG 
implementations rather than a bug specific to one of them.  Anyone 
encountered something like this before?  Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
