Comment:

 I tested this fix on Linux. It works with paths relative from the default
 system (/usr/local/share/qgis/svg) but not from user-specified paths, set
 in "Options" --> "Rendering & SVG" --> "SVG paths".

 It would be great if this could work with user-defined paths as well.

 In my tests QGIS introduced absolute paths in the .qgs project file,
 instead of relative ones when picking SVG symbols from a user defined SVG
 directory.
