Glue : SVG Support ? Inkscape Sypport ?

Aack! I didn't see this go in! So cool! Between text-follows-path and this, Inkscape has everything I ever wanted now! Wooo! :)
I think its FAB as well
My one problem is that my inkscape:connection-start's and inkscape:connection-end's are small SVG circles. If I try and select these shapes to drag, I invariably end up selecting the path rather than the circle. The paths themselves do not exhibit the connection behaviour.
Is there an inkscape namespace element that can specify that a path (or geometry) is not selectable. Alternatively can I define a "selection priority" or a "selection boundary", if you see what I mean

You can create a Layer (Layer/New Layer) and then use the XML Editor to drag your line into that layer. Once that's done, you can select the newly created layer from the layer pulldown list on the bottom left, and click it's "lock" icon. This will make everything in that layer unselectable.
(When you initially move your line into the layer, it will appear to be disconnected. Just move one of the objects it's attached to, and it'll snap back in place.)

Object properties dialog box (Ctrl-Shift-O). Current CVS calls it Lock; previous versions called it Sensitive (and I'm inclined to change it back to either Sensitive or Insensitive; see other thread on inkscape-devel).
Alternatively can I define a "selection priority"
If selection priority is the z order. Select the line/path and send it behind the circles.
Or in the generated SVG, output the <path> element before the two <circle> elements.
pjrm.
