Oh ok, I think that makes sense. I'll give it a try.
When I open the "Filter Edit" dialog, there are a whole bunch of filters listed with mostly meaningless names ("filter3818"). Are those just filters created automatically for blurs on various random objects in the document (and other things like that)?

How does one affect parameters for one of the pre-defined filters in the "Filter" pull-down menu? The Inkscape "Help" chapter about Filters bears little resemblance to the actual application; at least, it's certainly hard for me to tell what it's talking about when I look at what the application actually shows me. When I try to use any of the filters, I get a brief, blank pop-up dialog that shortly disappears, and then the filter takes effect with some canned parameters. I have to assume that the filters are actually configurable, but for the life of me I can't see how one does the configuration.
Open you have applied a pre-defined filter you can tweak it by opening up the Filter Editor dialog (at the bottom of the filters menu); see http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Filters.html for details on how to use. This is written for 0.46 but the dialog is pretty much the same in 0.47. Note that most of the pre-defined filters are rather complex and it may be difficult to understand exactly what is happening. Trial and error may be the best recourse.
