On linux, there are actually several implemetations that can
display SVGs by themselves (not embedded in (X)HTML).
A very good one is Batik
  http://xml.apache.org/batik/
which, like
  http://www.x-smiles.org/
is Java.
Sodipodi seems to be good as you say,
and Croczilla
  http://www.croczilla.com/svg/
is also a very exciting implementation, but has some way to go
to be able to display the SVGs in my howto.

For viewing embedded SVG (like in the howto), the Adobe SVG Viewer currently is the only good option,
but it's currently only available for Win/Mac. Perhaps they'll port it to Linux.
