New inkscape 0.47 problem with leopard: Copy paste as an image instead of vector object

If you are an Inkscape and Mac lover like me, you may have downloaded the latest 0.47 release for Leopard. I experienced a problem copying and pasting vector objects in the same document. Inkscape did paste the vector objects as bitmap images, which was really annoying. After a quick research I found out it was a problem of a funcionality of X11. Just go to X11->Preferences->Pasteboard and uncheck  the “active synchronization” checkbox. Unchecking just the “Update Pasteboard when CLIPBOARD changes” didn´t work in my case.Enjoy this great program and its brand new features like for example the autosave (thank god, no more work lost ;))
