Are there any other requirements for good perspective effects other than '4 nodes' ?
Maybe the problem is in python or that my Inkscape was compiled form sources?

Pawel,

Things to check:

- Is the object you want to transform actually a path? If it's a rectangle, text object or something else, make sure you convert it to a path first.

- The 4-node path defining the perspective shape should be created starting from bottom left and then proceeding clockwise.

- Make sure you select the 4-node path first, and then the path object you want to transform. Doing this in the opposite order will not work (I think).

If you still get nothing, maybe you should try opening a terminal window and launching inkscape from there. Then when you try out the perspective effect it might print out some messages in the terminal that might give a clue as to what is wrong. Failing that, you could try downloading a package of the latest version for your distro (what are you running?).
