Crash with paint server dialog when there is an svg file in /paint

Steps to reproduce:

  • save an svg file to your /paint folder in your user configuration directory (I used one with a pattern, or with nothing in the defs)
  • open Inkscape
  • open Object > Paint servers

What happened?

Immediate crash. Traceback

What should have happened?

No crash. Any pattern, hatch, etc. in that file should be included in:

  • the corresponding dropdown in the Fill+Stroke dialog
  • the Paint servers dialog

Inkscape Version and Operating System:

  • Inkscape Version: 1.0beta2 (1e49a9bc2a, 2020-01-13)
  • Operating System: Linux Mint 19.3
