Bug Description

I have the latest version of inkscape for Mac and am running it on OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).

When I group a set of objects and text, copy and paste them, I am unable to ungroup them again to make changes to individual objects.

Same underlying issue as bug #1273066: known conflict between XQuartz and vector applications like Inkscape and Fontforge which causes vector information to be copy&pasted as bitmap images. A workaround is described in the FAQ:
<http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Copying_and_pasting_in_Inkscape_creates_pixellated_images_instead_of_copying_the_vector_objects>
and shown in this screenshot:

The changes take effect immediately (no need to restart X11/XQuartz or Inkscape, however, earlier copy&pasted objects have to be redone (if the original vector version still exists).
