In any case - could you please explain to me how one wraps text within a box in Inkscape?
As I wrote, currently there's no UI. We can render files with wrapped text but we cannot yet generate them. That's planned for 0.41. But the rendering part is of course the most difficult. You can play with the share/examples/flow-sample.svg file.
not even read the menu until later. What a designer expects is to, say, draw a box or path and have text wrap /within/ the area defined (not text mapped onto the shape of the box, as in a different subject). Or alternately, most designers are used to dragging a box area with the Text tool in which they can type into - its only Quark that requires text boxes to be defined.
Yes. Dragging with the text tool will create a rect and put text cursor into it. Just need to code that :)
