I just create a new drawing that I leave open. When I want to "save" an object, I group it and then drag a copy over to the other drawing. This other drawing acts like an object pallette that I can use for commun projects. Just drag grouped objects from one to the other.

This is exactly what I do for my electronic drawings. I have a steadily growing collection of 'components' :)

I'm thinking of addind a feature request to specify a file to open whenever inkscape starts so my "scratchpad" file is always available.

As well as copy-and-paste, it would be great if there was a drag-and-drop way to copy objects from one drawing to another.
