Comment 7 for bug 542260

Inkscape 0.47+devel r9456 including the three patches
- bug #202540: <http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49235570/csp_03.patch>
- bug #542260: <http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49237636/simplepath_z_fix_01.patch>
- bug #542260: <http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49242371/dots_01.patch>
(tested both with personal and default preferences file)

1) 'Motion' now honors a closing 'z' segment, but creates a 'null' face for the closing 'z' of a curved path (see 3).

2) 'Number Nodes…' works as expected with paths like
- rectangle/star/polygon converted to path
- path closing with a straight line segment (pen tool / node tool)

3) 'Number Nodes…' adds an extra point when numbering closed paths like
- ellipse/circle converted to path
- star/polygon with rounded corners converted to path
- closed curve drawn with pencil tool
- path closing with a curved segment (pen tool / node tool)

Because now coinciding start and end nodes are not longer rendered offset but on top of each other, it can be difficult to notice that 'Number Nodes…' counts one more node than is displayed in the status line message about the selected path.

I haven't tested other extensions which are importing cubicsuperpath.py and and simplepath.py.
