The "Import Clip Art" function in the File menu is not working. The
dialog shows an error: "Could not connect to the Open Clip Art
Library". The terminal logs an error:

** (inkscape:12723): WARNING **: 15:35:06.393: ImportDialog::on_xml_file_read():

I just tried again, and I couldn't reproduce this error anymore.  Like
upstream, I'm blaming something on gtkmm or glib, although I'm not sure
on what.

Could you please try again?

mhpf.

this is annoying, and I should have noticed the similarity in the
message with #926113 ...

glib and saw /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules in strace. I looked
at what files go there with apt-file and found gvfs. Installing gvfs
almost fixed it; gvfs-backends was also needed. Now I can search for
clipart.

So maybe add Recommends: gvfs-backends? It added another 15MB to the
disk usage for me.
