Let me reply to Bulia's comment on having some more sane structure than what the HIG suggests (or generally the Mac/... HIG, not sure if Windows have interface guidelines).
It may sound like a good idea to play on your own field if you think you can design a better structure. But look at MS Internet Explorer, they do the same -- the box model in CSS specifies the width and height doesn't include the padding of the box, so you need to be careful about using % units since padding is added to that. MS didn't like that idea and have width and height be defined so that padding is subtracted from this amount. While it may sound like it's making the % units more useful, the fact that only IE has this behavior makes all web designers cry.
This analogy does not work. Moving a command to a different menu is not the same as breaking HTML or SVG rules. I was just trying to make Inkscape more intuitive to work with.
Anyway, like I said, I'm not going to fight for it. I'm OK with placing the command into any menu with any name.
