I did submit a feature request at SourceForge a few days ago.  Microsoft Expression has something along this line.  You simply select your object then set the randomization parameters for size, rotation and line/fill values (including transparency) and stamp away.

Are you saying that a filter can't be created or that one doesn't exist?

Please excuse my ignorance... what does "RFE" stand for?  Is this the same thing as making a feature request at SourceForge?
