Hi Krzysztof,
Also I noticed that you added tooltips that pop up when snapping - this is a very good idea, but there's some lag before they are displayed, and sometimes they aren't displayed at all. I hope there's some way to make them instantaneous.
You wouldn't believe how much time I already spend on getting these tooltips to show at all :-(. It still doesn't always show for some reason, and apparently it can crash Inkscape (which is probably due to the custom events I have to emit to trigger the tooltip). I'm about to dump the GtkTooltip and just create our own tooltip window manually. This should be much more reliable, and then we can also have it shown and hidden in sync with the snap indicator.
