This is a known bug since July 2006.
http://bugzilla.xara.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1362
Over the weekend Linux.com posted an article discussing lessons learned over the last two years of Xara's open source adventure.

Best,
I can sympathize too. I've only been using Xtreme regularly for ~1 year but I find I'm using it less and less and am unwilling to invest the time necessary for my proficiency with it to reach the...
I don't think this has anything to do with your monitor. The horizontal banding in your example image, which is quite obvious to me, is present in the original image. Attached is a screen shot of...
If you have any specific suggestions for interface improvements I'm sure the Inkscape developers would like to hear them. They certainly spend a good deal of time thinking about how to optimize the...
That is an interesting conclusion. One that I'm sure Industrial Light & Magic, Apple, IBM, Sun, Google, Intel, and numerous others would be interested in hearing. Perhaps another lesson that could be...
Well the 2 other graphics programs I have in front of me are Inkscape and Canvas. Both pass the rectangle - square test by producing an object with the correct 9 nodes. Based on other comments in...
To get a little off topic I've always thought it would be really cool if some drawing program provided a simple interface to some of the livewire segmentation algorithms that get used in the...
Maybe I'm just unlucky. :)
I'm afraid you've hit upon one of Xtreme's major flaws, at least in my opinion. I have yet to come up with a useable workflow for getting EPS files produced by any other program into Xtreme. The fact...
I am legitimately curious why XAR is better.
Like I said, I'm not familiar with either format, however, I could probably guess at some reasons why XAR might be preferred. On the other hand, saying...
You could probably achieve a similar effect using some combination of objects with blur and transparency but it probably wouldn't be very easy or intuitive.
On an unrelated note, I've finally...
As someone who isn't familiar with the details of either XAR or SVG formats, I'm curious what makes SVG so offensive? Pointing to the minimal browser support seems like something of a straw man...
This has been a known bug for a while:

Unfortunately as you've discovered, it's pretty tough to work around.
This, along with the precision available from the transform dialog, are a couple of the aspects of Inkscape that I find most usefull.
I haven't had any problems with stability, but Inkscape...
Inkscape uses the SVG definition of a pixel which in turn is derived from the CSS specification. The CSS spec used to recommend a pixel density of 90dpi, in the absence of specific knowledge about...
No. Parallels allows you to set up a virtual machine that you can install Windows on. Also note that the license of at least the Home version of Vista will not let you install it on a virtual...
For an excellent analysis of why Xara's open source strategy isn't working I suggest anyone who is interested read this message by Carl Worth
...
Its probably worth noting that ever since Inkscape 0.44 folks with a history of using Xara don't need to learn a new set of keyboard shortcuts.
...
Unless, of course, Xara still wants contributions from the community.
As it stands now if I am a developer who wants to spend some of my free time working on a vector drawing program I have a...
I can export tiffs using Debian Etch as well.
I seem to remember that most, if not all, of the export functionality is handled by ImageMagick so differences in how it is setup may effect what...
I'm sure things have been a little hectic around Xara central recently so I'm willing to cut them a little slack but I must say my optimisim continues to decrease the longer this question goes...
Charles' comments about only 2 versions of Xtreme don't bode well for the open source version. Nonetheless, it would be nice to get a straight answer about its future after the deafening silence of...
