I don't think we need an other bug.
1.) This bug (Extension not working) was because of path issues - people doubblechecked and confirn that it works on lib 20080303 version
2.) spawn bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/204779 is addressed by "crash on help menu" introduced by lib 20080313 version
---
For 1.) everything is now in trunk (check trunk and get the diff to 0.46)
- main.cpp to set correct PATH and environment
- script.cpp to call pythonw and set the correct path to inkscape/python
- build.xml to include pythonw.exe into the inkscape-distrib directory

For 2.) the spawn bug we have a patch where I do not know anyone doubblechecked if that solves the problem
- script.cpp call inkscape::io::spawn
- sys.cpp redirect spawn call to glib::spawn or on win32 use the copied code
- sys.h declare inkscape::sys::spawn

I would like to post Ulfs solution to trunk.

HTH, Adib.
