I was playing with my wife's Serif Drawplus (I didn't know it was a vector application unlike the rest of you as there seems to be a lot of mention of it in these forums).
If you export a gradient vector as .wmf (or .emf) and import it into Xara, you get a chopped up version free of gradients. Useful when making flash files and when having to produce Illustrator compatible .eps files.
The original has spaces around each shape so I enlarged them all with the [contour tool].
