Hey People,
I'd also stronly support this 'palette' idea with shapes. It's one of few things that I realy mis in Inkscape. DIA is pretty much useless for the rest, but that program _does_ have this function. (Well, and Illustrator has it also).
I saw somebody just mentioning electronic circuits, but it would be usefull in many other diagram-ish features: maps, electronics, icons, flowcharts,... well. A lot.

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.
I didn't know you could d&d from one ink to another. It just scrolls on the canvas of the one I am dragging on...
This other drawing acts like an object pallette that I can use for commun projects. Just drag grouped objects from one to the other.
I have said it before (on the dev list too) if such a "common file" could supply *clones* to other files then we would be talking business.
