I have been doing some icons in the last few days and working with blur as a drop-shadow quite a lot and I wanted to ask : Is there some way to make a special case where an object can have a "live blurred clone" attached to it wherever it moves, rotates or is node-edited or has other objects joined to it? I am thinking of having a "shadow" that is simply there and is predictable such that I can focus on the thing at hand, leaving the shadow to just work. In short -- making the "shadow" a property/attribute of an object.

Yes, to an extent, read http://wiki.inkscape.org:8080/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes045#SVG_filters:_Ga..., blur tips, drop shadow
