Hi,
With trunk I am having trouble getting snapping to paths to work consistently. I was thinking about demoing the new snapping to the intersection of a path and guide. I can get it to work sometimes but for the most part my test rectangle will not snap to anything to do with a path. Snapping to the grid and guide lines always works as expected. Has anybody else seen this behavior? It seems to not work more often with complicated drawings (many layers).
There are some known issues with the related 2geom code. Nathan Hurst is working on this. I expect that's what you're running into. For more details see this thread:

I will let you know when this has been fixed. We can then see if any path-snapping bugs are remaining.
I've also gotten this error message a few times:
ERROR:widgets/toolbox.cpp:2108:void toggle_snap_callback(GtkToggleAction*, gpointer): assertion failed: (ptr != NULL)
That's something that I need to fix. Which tool are you using? Can you write down the exact steps leading to these warnings?
Thanks,
Diederik
