In case anyone is interested, the SVG importer seemes to work with
Java 6 (aka jre 1.6) on FC6. The bin+rpm installs into /usr/java.
One must then go into the options of OO, select "Java" and pick the
new JRE. (fairly painless)

After that, one can open this test svg file (a psuedo-benchmark) in OO:

And it will look like the this - a *vast* improvement over any other
method of importing that I've tried:

OO will then open the example SVG provided by PS earlier in the thread
[1], but the main problem seems to be that paths in OO are not
smoothed (aka antialiased) at all.  Lest we despair, work is being
done to convert the drawing functions in OO over to cairo and XCanvas:

Something to look forward to, at least.

correctly in OO.
