Comment 13 for bug 168158

Okay, so this has been bugging me for a while. I use geometrical correlations when designing icons to create for example circular dispositions and equilateral triangles. However, I quickly found out that things aren't that easy.

So here's the bug and how to reproduce it (I think it has something to do with rounding errors, but I'm not sure. If this is unrelated, feel free to move it to it's own issue)

1. Create a circle using the circle tool. Use only a fill, transparent makes it easier to work with. If you want to the circle can be converted to a path.
2. Duplicate the circle and snap its midpoint to the path.
3. Duplicate the circle and snap its midpoint to one of the path intersections.
4. Repeat until you have six circles around the first circle.
5. Select two outer circles next to eachother and perform a path intersection.
6. Repeat for the other four outer circles.

Expected results: All the intersections should be intersecting in the middle with the same precision as the circles had before.
Actual results: Check the attachment.

Great work with this editor, and hope this helps out in some way :)
