Importing multiple SVGs mixes up colors (XML ID clash?)

Bug Description

The attached tarball contains two .svg files (taken from the KDE artwork)
that cannot seem to co-exist in the same drawing in inkscape. Starting from
an empty drawing, importing emblem_network.svg before hard_system_user.svg
causes the latter to go technicolor, and vice versa.

I noticed there is a gradient named "aigrd8" in both files. Looks like the
namespaces of XML IDs in both files clash with each other somehow.

This bug also exists in the latest nightly build.

bug 192949 seems to refer to a similar problem: the 2nd imported SVG has problems...

Is this an issue with gradients only or with single colors? If so, this is a dupe of a rather old bug.

Assigning to myself. I have ID clash resolution on import working now, and will post a patch once I've tidied it up and tested it a bit more.

Hey sas,

thanks a ton for this patch! It works as expected for importing, but
can you also fix the same problem for pasting? For example: draw a
gradient, copy object with that gradient, change one color in the
gradient, paste. Expected result: old gradient pasted; actual result:
new changed gradient is pasted.

I'll have a look at fixing the pasting problem (bug 165936).

I confirm it's fixed in SVN 19792 (ie before release 0.47). Thanks a bunch!
