Before getting deep into the boring stuff planned for 0.41, I decided to do some eye candy...

Wow!
I saw it again Wow! I'm massively impressed. That is some seriously sweet eyecandy.
With this and some Image Objects I'll be able to very easily do Kaleidescope effects and mess about with partial symmetries, which I am looking forward to having fun with.
- The new powerful "Tile clones" dialog implements all 17 plane
symmetry groups, allowing you to easily create all sorts of symmetric patterns, Escher-like tesselations, ornaments, etc. Since the pattern
Mmm tesselations. Are those kangaroos? http://inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.41-CVS-linux-tiles1.png
is made out of clones, you can freely edit the original tile and the entire pattern is updated live. This feature puts Inkscape into competition with software such as the free Arabeske
I looked it up, so in case anyone else is interested Arabeske Studio http://www.wozzeck.net/arabeske/ Freshmeat Project page for Arabeske http://freshmeat.net/projects/arabeske/
or commercial SymmetryWorks.

Will Reset/Remove/Create buttons be accessible via Alt+Some_button? Like Alt+S for Reset, Alt+E for Remove and Alt+C for Create
GTK has stock buttons for Reset and Remove which I hope would be used and although it is not ideal I would use OK instead of Create so as to use a Stock button and keep plug-ins as consistant as possible (although I realise this is probably not implemented as a plug-in).
I expect that at some point you might want to add the ability to save Presets at the top of every plug-in dialog above the tabs something like this:
Presets [ dropdown list [v] [ Save...]
(Take a look at Jasc Paint Shop Pro, it has an excellent and consistant layout for plug-ins which we could do a lot worse than to copy it)
