Use saved size and position of the tile checkbox: what is the use case for this option?
You made a tiling, then scaled the tile, and want to repeat or slightly change the tiling, but without scaling it - leaving it the same frequency (even if with overlapping or gaps). Feel free to edit the tooltip to make it clearer.
Sounds to me like a user having such needs could well just copy the tile and scale it back, making the cost of such an odd option taking space and diverting user attention too high. I mean, it's like an undo that doesn't happen, except for the result of the next operation, so you work with one state, while you see another.
Some examples illustrating how this option works and why it's not as 'odd' as it might seem to you: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/TilePattern.html http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.41-CVS-linux-tiles1.png http://linuxformat.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Inkscape_-_cloning_and_tiling#Tessellation
Hopefully it will not get dropped from a reworked 'Tiled Clones' dialog, as it allows creating seamless tiles or tesselations: editing the contents of the base tile (a group) & recreating the tiled clones even if the dimensions of the bbox of the base tile have changed (because the saved dimensions and rotation center of the group are used).
