SVG icons & SuSe 9.0 (I need yr Help)

Hello
I am currently working on an Icon Theme for KDE called Wasp. Shortly after releasing Wasp v2.0 on kde-look it came to my attention that certain people we're having trouble displaying some of the icons correctly. Those icons people we're having trouble with we're in fact the SVG's. After receiving a few emails and reading a few posts from different people, it occurred to me that the problem seem to be consistently occurring in SuSe 9.0.

So why am I posting here? Well frankly, I am kinda stuck right now... I my self don't know why only SuSe users are having this problem and not being a SuSe user my self, it is kinda hard for me to pinpoint the problem and or find a fix for it. So i was kinda hoping that maybe some of you in this KDE forum, could help me find a solution to this problem.

First off I need to be sure that it is just SuSe users who are afflicted with this SVG contortion. So what I need is people with different Distro's to install the icon theme and to make sure it displays correctly in there version of KDE.

Right now the only Distro I know for sure that displays the icons correctly is Slackware. I know this because that is the Distro I use. But feel free if you are a Slackware user to install and test the icons anyway.

Here are 3 examples of what SuSe 9.0 looks like using Wasp v2.0 (BAD)

Here are 3 examples of what it should look like (Slackware 9.1) (GOOD)

Ok, so if you looked at the 1st three examples, you can see that all the SVG icons are OFF SET. That is what I want everyone to be looking for and testing for. If you install the icon theme and you get that mess on yr desktop, then I need you to let me know.

Please provide me with the following information:

The Distro you are using (SuSe 9.0, Redhat 9.0, Mandrake 9.1, Slackware 9.1, Etc..), the version of KDE you have (KDE 3.0.X, 3.1.X, 3.2), A screenshot of the problem in action, & any other bits of information you think might help...

You can either post the info here or email it to me: pyavitz@comcast.net

If you install the theme and everything looks normal and as it should then please drop a line on the forum saying everything looks good and I am using this version of KDE on this Distro. Also if you have any thoughts on the subject that you think will help, please let me know...

I know this is allot to ask, but if you have a few minutes to burn and don't mind helping me out, then please do, because I really want to figure out why this is happening... Thanx!

I tried Wasp v2.0.2 on Mandrake 9.2 with KDE 3.1.4 and I don't see any of the problems present in the screenshots. They look excellent and I think I'll be using them for a while.
