Thanks for the explanations. So if I create the rectangle and immediately switch to the select tool yes I get to see its properties and change them. It did not occur to me to try the selector because the object seemed to have disappeared as soon as I clicked elsewhere. I'll be damned if I know why it was white: I have _viewed_ some SVG documents in Inkscape before but this is my first stab at creating one.
Something else to watch out for is zero width lines. These will be invisible in Inkscape but when you print the file such lines will show up as minimum width ones. They can be very difficult to find, especially in a drawing with lots of work on the same area.
