In case it has been forgotten (I did): http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2010/08/30/inkscape-tiled-clones/
Actually, I Did remember it. But it's been so long that I don't even remember where I put the mock-ups -I- did back then. xD Thanks for linking them back! We'll just go with yours.
Anyway, here we go! Tiling tool:

Now, looking more into the different tiling styles did convince me that it's just better to have them all together (the guides are too different).
On the other hand, I still insist to have separate Symmetries and Radial Clones sub-tools (and maybe clones along path). The reason is that Symmetries is something pattern designers will use for the patterns themselves, and technical drawers could just slap it on half their lines, but tiling serves for welll... making lots of tiles.
And Radial Clones remains separate because controlling radial clones with the current tiling interface feels like making babies cry. Polar coordinates please! Besides, the 17 transformations are meant to fill wallpaper pages, not create circular designs.
I still have to do the interface for Symmetries and Radial Clones, but it's a big start.
Oh by the way, I started the Toolbar tool grouping wiki page: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Tool_Grouping_and_Interface_suggesti...
It's a pity I can't just show images from outside the wiki. Anyway, I still have a bunch of mockups to do, so it will get updated in the coming days.
