[Inkscape-user] How to create a circular pattern

I feel completely stupid. Maybe I'm just not seeing that "Get your free circular pattern here" button in Inkscape. What I need is a circular arrangement of clones of an object where I can select an object, set a center point, an increment angle and number of clones and just get some clones along a circle or arc.

There's this ultracomplex thingy for "tiling" things but I don't think it does what I need.

Thanks, --D.
