If you read those entries could see that there are two methods for installing them. But thanks to the excellent contribution of Mardigann we can see what is the correct way that meets the standards required for inkscape filters can be included in the main menu.

Call screening, glare and cartoons for inkscape
April 13
In continuity with the previous post I share these packs of filters that are produced by the same author but had overlooked. It includes a collection specifically for glare or lighting effects and a collection for flames, smoke and particles, personally I love these.
To use, you must import the svg file in our work area, then select the object to which you want to filter. Go to the top menu of filters and filter editor finally there appear and can be activated with the checks you want.
UPDATE: Please see this guide
Package inkscape surface filters
April 12
As is known inkscape strong feature is the manipulation of vectors and not really handling bits or texture maps. But one can always do another trick to achieve effects of texture and relief in our vectors.
Inkscape has a number of predefined filters that allow us to create different textures, there are some who are great but other than the truth I have no idea who would use 
However, in reality there is freedom to add new ones.
This filter package is created by irzun.deviantart.com and truth that are most that can be very useful, possibly create a tutorial for creating a graphic with textures created from these filters.
They can be downloaded at the following link.
The author explains that to Inkscape 0.47 version of the installation steps is to copy and paste the contents of the downloaded file into "Inkscape / share / filters".
I use version 0.48 and I found a folder "Inkscape" or. "Inkscape" in my home so I had to paste the contents in "/ usr / share / inkscape / filters /", note that to paste this content folder requires root permissions. If you're running Ubuntu in a terminal "sudo nautilus" to open a file browser with root permissions, it would help a lot.
UPDATE: Gez tells us that the configuration files in the folder inkscape, are in .config / inkscape from 0.48. Thanks for the input
Finally there is only open inkscape -> create any shape and select -> go to Filter menu -> Surface -> Choose the one you want.
Tutorial inkscape spiral notebook
December 24
After a timeout, I return with a post that I really liked to do. A few days ago Javier sent me an email asking how to design a figure accompanying me when I saw that could be easily noticed in inkscape, so I felt that the best way to explain it was with a video tutorial.
In this practice I use gradients, paths operations, duplication of objects and use bezier curves tool.
Hopefully useful for you. I say goodbye wishing them Merry Christmas to all. Please excuse the quality of video or audio, the truth is that it is the first screencast I do.
