I know that rsvg is not able to render many of the effects possible in 
Inkscape-produced SVGs. Actually I still have file preview turned off in 
nautilus on all of my desktop systems because if I turn it on it crashes 
nautilus instantly because of rsvg bugs in rendering thumbnail previews 
of the SVGs I have in my library.
