Comment 30 for bug 1417470

I developed a fix in lp:~mgmax/inkscape/pdf-tex-fix-group , feedback is appreciated.

Basically, that cairo_push_group() is active, suppresses the noneffective cairo_show_page() and after the next successful page it adds blank pages to the PDF so that the page numbers match again.

As far as I tested, there is no difference for cases where it worked before. In the cases where it didn't work before ("decelresults" and "rotspectrum" attached to this bugreport), the TeX now compiles and the output looks correct. The Z-ordering is not perfect, but I'm afraid there is no better solution which is not horribly complicated.
