Still more update.   I opened a new file.  Used the box tool to make a 
box.  Copied and pasted it.  ...and got a nice .png file on my desktop 
again.  And the copy pasted in Inkscape was an image.

Further update.  I just discovered that all the "pastes" I have done in 
an attempt to figure out what is going on, have created .png image files 
on my desktop.  This is NOT something I was attempting to do at all.  
How did they get there?  Very weird.

I have this oddball behavior going on with copy/paste.  I am running 
0.47 on a mac with OS X Leopard.

I have a path that I am trying to copy and do "paste in place".  
However, when I paste the path, what I am getting is an IMAGE, not a 
path,  I can't edit it.  It has a white background, which shouldn't be 
there, and it doesn't paste in place.  It pastes off to the left of 
where it should be. I am wanting to paste it in place on a different 
layer, but even pasting it on the same layer creates an image, instead 
of a copy of the original path.

How I determined that it was an image was to go into the XML editor and 
watched what happened when I did the paste.  Sure enough, the XML editor 
states that the copy is an image, not a path.

What is going on?  Have I changed a setting somewhere by accident?  Or 
is
 this a bug?
