The problem is that this has been a moving target.  Simple gradients 
used to cause problems in KDE3 icons.

I might mention for what it is worth that there exists code which 
supports much more of SVG than Qt does (Apache Batik), there is one 
small problem: it is written in Java rather than C++.

If GCJ worked and would compile Batik, this wouldn't be a large problem.
