I just took the time to have a look at the original SVG, as posted at http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/tde/img/tdeaccessibility/go.svg , and there's no artefact. I tried both 3.5.10 Konqueror and the corresponding version of Karbon14, and I can tell that it's not my revised SVG because I thickened up the T somewhat as Darrell requested at one point. Several possibilities suggest themselves: 1. Konqueror and Karbon use a different renderer than the dialogs. 2. The artefact is a regression introduced between 3.5.10 and current GIT, in which case We Have A Real Bug and need to find out which patch introduced it. 3. The artefact is due to something else on Darrell's system, possibly a video driver bug, and is not Trinity's fault at all. 4. This isn't the original file after all. So the immediate questions are, Darrell, is this the faulty file, and does the artefact show up for you in Konqueror/Karbon, or is it only visible in the shutdown dialog? The diff between the two files isn't very enlightening either. Boilerplate in mine suggests that I saved as Inkscape SVG (since there were no text elements, that shouldn't make a difference), and I can see how David's file was grouped and tell which XML element corresponds to what shape, but there's nothing obviously *wrong*--the two documents are basically similar and everything appears to be well-formed XML, although I haven't yet checked to see if it's valid. [1] [1] "Well-formed", with respect to XML, means that the document follows the general syntax of XML as outlined in the XML standard. "Valid" means that the document is well-formed *and* the elements and attributes match what's in the DTD(s) or schema(s) that define the document type, in this case SVG. $DEITY, I haven't thought about this stuff in years.
