OK I changed it so that when multiple objects all have the same color, switching them to gradient creates a single gradient for them all.

Well on the other hand if I select multiple objects maybe you do know what you are doing, when changing to gradient? I mean I actually think you're right that a new gradient should be created everytime you switch to gradient from solid fill. But if you have several objects selected only _one_ gradient should be created and not one for every object. This one gradient would then be editable.
Now gradient is created from the object's previous color. What color to use if I switch to gradient several objects with different fill colors?
Yeah, I was wondering about the same thing... first object selected, object furthes to the front, some mix... but right now it doesn't even work with objects being the same color, since there's no check for that. If it did the simple work around would be to assign one color to the objects first. Personally I think it doesn't matter what color you use. If somebody wants to assign a gradient to multiple objects, he likely wants to create a new completely new gradient or reuse an old one, but not use the automatic one. The best options would be either to take the object furthest a front or to take the one with the biggest area. Furthest a front is easier to learn though, I guess.
I'll be thinking about it a little more
