Comment 8 for bug 692719

Thank you for the updated patch! Tested with Inkscape 0.48+devel r9991 on OS X 10.5.8

About the trade-off: since the gear is inserted as a group with the center in the upper left corner of the page (SVG origin 0,0), animation should work with the additional circle inserted as well (with the bonus of being able to edit its parameters with the ellipse tool).

See also <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.user/13378> with a brief description by one of the authors of the original version of the gear extension.

@JazzyNico - what do you think? Could you commit the second patch?
