I just checked in a change to the clones code which allows you to select how a clone reacts when its original is moved. In the Inkscape Preferences dialog, Misc tab, you can choose between:

- Moves in parallel: Clone is translated by the same vector as its original.

- Stays unmoved: Clone preserves its position when its original is moved.

- Moves according to transform: Clone moves according to the value of its transform= attribute. For example, a rotated clone will move in a different direction than its original.

Until now, the last of the three options was the only possible one. Now the default is the "moves in parallel" option. This makes handling clones much more intuitive and convenient in design.
