Bug#539806: broken PDF rendering for inkscape-originated PDF files with gradients

[Carl Worth]

reassign 539806 poppler
thanks

Hi Martin,

I verified that this is a bug in poppler 0.10.6. By compiling poppler
upstream from git, (currently 0.11.2 aka 0.12 Beta 2), evince is able to
display the file correctly. Since 0.11.1 several commits were made to
poppler to have it use native cairo gradients rather than the old broken
code it had before. See below (in which bug numbers refer to
bugs.freedesktop.org).
