Inkscape 0.48.1 "0.48.1"

Bug Description

When saving postscript via Cairo, the option to restrict the generated PS to level 2 or 3 produces the reversed effect (selecting "restrict to level 2" generates level 3 PS and selecting "restrict to level 3" generates level 2 PS). This seems to be due to an inappropriate negation of the comparison of the PSlevel option value with "PS3" in cairo-ps-out.cpp (see attached patch).

Inkscape version 0.48.

@JazzyNico - can you verify on linux (possibly win32 too)? If accepted, this fix should be backported to 0.48.x (for 0.48.1 or 0.48.2).

Not yet fixed in Windows 7 Inkscape 0.48.4 r9939. I don't understand what:

    milestone: 0.49 → 0.48.1

means. Does it mean that it will be fixed in 0.49?
