What is missing from the viewer?
Step1. I am able to draw all the shapes an Ubuntu views them in the file browser without any prompting needed.
Step 2. Now I want to start usin the animation capabilities defined in the SVG standard but nothing happens.

Do I need to import a specific plug-in to achieve the animation capabilities?

Observation. Please don't stick pins into my effigy but i used to be able to do EVERYTHING I needed to using Microsoft Visual Basic v6. You could animate shapes and control things with a timer. Visual Basic .NET does not seem to have line and shape objects, or have I missed something. Anyway the lack of continuity with the Microsoft product have convinced me that it is well worth the sweat to use SVG. You can see why the Open Source philosophy will win out in the long run - it is the only stable,trustworthy technology.

Firefox's implementation of SVG animation is not done yet. See this page:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/svg/status.html
You might try the opera browser - I don't know about the status of that. Javascript+SVG works in both Firefox and opera.
As for the Linux SVH image viewers like nautilus, Eye Of Gnome etc, I would be surprised if the implemented either SVG animation or javascript based animation.
