Hello,
I am trying to use Inkscape 0.44 to design basic graphics for websites (think content boxes, buttons, titles and so on) and to get highlight and shadow borders around them I make use of linked offsets, which I find very useful especially when I need to adjust the basic shape (from which the linked offsets are made) later on.
I do believe that the Linux version of Xara can do all you wish. Download the .package version and see how you like it:

Run the movies to see just what this puppy can do:

and
http://downloads.xara.com/products/xtreme/movies/intro2.avi
The intro2 shows how to make buttons like no other program I know, even the high priced spreads. It's so fast and easy to use that is a show-stopper.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've been wanting to have a look at Xara Extreme for some time but was waiting for an ebuild to show up in Gentoo's portage (but I guess I could just stop being lazy and try to compile this thing myself). Anyway, I have created a bugreport for this, since I am and probably will remain very fond of Inkscape :)
