Are you interrested by this one: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/41288680/ I can try to finish it.
Sure, it's a great start! I would love to see it finished. I just wanted to reiterate that it's very important for you to use blur for things like reflections, highlights and shadows - otherwise it will look unnaturally flat and "vectory" no matter how many details you add.

Xara does the job smoothly and without putting the blur in a box.

expect the same behaviour in Inkscape?
By the way, note that Xara does not have blur - it only has _feathering_. In many situations they are interchangeable, but not always. Blur is more generic than feathering - that is, if you have blur, you can do feathering with it, but the reverse is not true.

Thank you for the explanation Bulia, I tried XARA and yes, the behaviour is quite different!! :) On the other side, the behaviour of Inkscape is still a little restrictive (10% box aroud the object is not very much) so it is not the most "comfortabe" tool for example to create a very diffused shadow... I attached 2 PNGs one created in Inkscape, the other one in xara.
The shadow created in Inkscape is a combination of gausian blur and circular transparency, and the problem is that the 10% box around the object is still visible... The shadow created in Xara is a combination of feather and circular transparency. Since there is no restricted 10% area, the shadow looks as it has to.
Please be patient... we just told people to start using the blur function. If you read bulia's other recent post to the list titled "blur tips" you will see that he even suggested a workaround for the 10% limitation. I'm sure there will be something in the UI to modify that percentage at some point, but it CAN be worked around already. :)

As others already explained, this is not something that cannot be fixed. It's just a case of us not (yet) having bothered to change the default. Stay tuned, it should be ready before the release. If you want a workaround that works right now, read my message titled "Blur tips" sent yesterday.
