Try this method, before you export from Inkscape, run Path | Object to path.
In Gimp, Import but don't merge paths.
This worked! I am an inkscape noob, even after reading all the documentation. Their forums just aren't as awesome as ours.. hah!

EPS, not the svg, file format is the ideal solution in such cases
The only real vector elements of svg file that get imported to gimp are the paths.
Everything else is getting rasterized.
Some stuff created in Inkscape is a raster by its nature from the start - e.g. most of the filter effects
and some of the path modifications.
SVGs are not always 100% vectors, it can be a vector/raster mix depending on what you've done in Inkscapel.
Why not:
1. create the same text/path in gimp? Given the font you're using is the system font, create a text layer in gimp and Text_To_Path from the layers panel.
or
2. export your work as bitmap image(s) and open in gimp?
i got an error message when I tried to open a converted .EPS
"Opening 'C:\Users\Jennifer\Pictures\season\object.eps' failed:
Could not interpret Postscript file 'C:\Users\Jennifer\Pictures\season\object.eps'"
so I do not know if this worked!
Do yall normally just do text stuff straight from GIMP? I rather hate the text window, I don't know why. it also seems blurrier in general when working in text.
