Wow ! That's very neat.
The effect is outstanding on a clipped path. Would even look better with clip highlight (in a different color ?).
Do you plan to make it work on other shapes as well ?
However, I happen more often to have troubles when selecting and object than picking it with the node tool (well, most of the time I select fist then go to node tool).
Do you think it's possible for the selector to benefit from the same treatment ?
(Seriously, inkscape and you guys rocks so hard it's hardly believable.)

Not an original idea for the record... it was just because you
implemented the temporary canvas stuff that I brought it up. AI folk
have requested this for a while and will hopefully like this a lot...
As for Preferences:
on/off - necessary
flash time - if on, 0 = infinite/until mouse is moved (with a note there)
flash color would be cool if doable
show nodes would also be nifty
Nice stuff as always Johan! :)
