NEW: grouping a single object
In previous versions, Inkscape didn't allow you to group a single object. Yet in some cases, this operation is useful (for example, to blur the clipped edged of an object). So now this limitation is removed.
Let me know if you find any problem with this. The only "problem" I'm aware of is that now, if you press and hold Ctrl+G, you will end up with a very deeply grouped object :)

Maybe for these cases there is sence to introduce an "ungroup all" function? This could be useful when ungrouping a large group of smaller groups, or when ungrouping a single "deeply" groupped object. Some time ago a filled a request about this (RFE# 1418223). Corel draw has a similar function, and it's a real time saver.

Well, if this was caused by pressing and holding Ctrl+G, then just press and hold Ctrl+U to fix it :)
Although I won't object if someone implements the "ungroup all" verb.

True... I didn't think of in it that opposite way... :)

Hello guys,
I can't run a svn build of inkscape without a crash at startup since several weeks. I'm compiling and running Inkscape under Ubuntu Edge. Can someone tell me what's going wrong?
Here is the console log:
(inkscape:20268): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GtkLabel' to `GtkContainer'
(inkscape:20268): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_container_foreach: assertion `GTK_IS_CONTAINER (container)' failed
Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
thanx, Ronan

It's very hard to say without more information. A backtrace might help, see our Reporting Bugs page for more information.
Most crashes at start on Linux are due to mismatched libraries, so without knowing anything more, that'd be my guess. See:

Yep, it's probably a lib version problem. But shouldn't ./configure operation tell me what lib I should use?

Ah, I ran into a series of errors similar to this yesterday. It was solved by simply doing a 'make install'. The Inkscape that comes with your distro installs things to /usr/share instead of /usr/local/share, but when you compile it from svn, it defaults to /usr/local/share.
If you don't wish to install it to /usr/local/, you can control this via the --prefix option to ./configure.

Would it be possible to only listen to the key up or key down message? It doesn't seem to make sense to want group repeatedly in this way and only listening to key up or key down would prevent accidentaly creating such deeply grouped objects without being inconvenient (normally people probably wouldn't even notice).

That's an interesting idea, although it sounds a bit like "GTK hacking." Which I prefer to avoid as much as possible in order to lower the contact surface area with this buggy monster. But if we do that, we'll have to sort all our verbs into those that allow autorepetition (such as keyboard move) and those that do not.
