Hi there!
This is a very nice feature! And it also reminded one thing I wanted to discuss here.
Say I painted a flower and I used a radial gradient fill for it. Then I want to duplicate this flower 3-4 times and let all the flowers have differently-coloured gradients. However, they all are bound to use the same gradient and if I adjust the gradient of one flower other flowers change too. So I have to add a new gradient (and create if from scratch, as there is not gradient copy functiom AFAIK) for each flower.
I know that sometimes we _do_ need to be able to change the same gradient over several objects, but sometimes the situation is as what I described above.
Thus, I think that "duplicate" should duplicate the gradients too, while the new "clone" command should peserve the same gradients.
