I fixed some things in the pattern parsing code in the svg import filter. The thing still missing is support for pattern transforms.

Even simple patterns fail, e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <svg width="32" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="32" viewBox="0 0 32 32" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" > <defs> <pattern id="pat1" x="0" y="0" width="0.28" height="1" patternUnits="objectBoundingBox" patternContentUnits="objectBoundingBox" > <rect x="0" y="0" width="0.14" height="1" fill="white"/> <rect x="0.14" y="0" width="0.14" height="1" fill="black"/> </pattern> </defs> <g > <rect x="0" y="10" width="28" height="5" stroke="white" fill="url(#pat1)" transform="rotate(-20 0 10)"/> <rect x="2" y="12" width="28" height="5" stroke="white" fill="url(#pat1)"/> <rect x="2" y="17" width="28" height="14" stroke="white" fill="black"/> <text x="10" y="28" font-weight="bold" font-size="10" fill="red">M</text> <text x="18" y="28" font-weight="bold" font-size="10" fill="blue">V</text> </g> </svg> This svg works fine with firefox and emacs see Screenshot firefox), but not with dolphin or as desktop symbol (see Screenshot dolphin):
