Maurice-

You may want to look at the thread on making maps from last May:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=519BAB8A.9070502%40wildintellect.com&forum_name=inkscape-user

Unless things have changed, the answer is that for now it's better to 
maintain maps with some other tool.

Thanks, this helps a little. But the rectangle is
only an example, the drawing I'm working on is
more complicated. Take for instance the map of
Europe, with all coutries painted in a different
color. The path-segments on each border belong to
two paths, around the two bordering countries.
Now if I want to edit that border, I would like
to edit only one path. Is that possible? Or do I
have to draw each border twice?

Thanks for the help.
