Wow, that is great. I'll have to keep that tool stashed in my head. Unfortunately, for this task, they do overlap and intersect. Is this something I should start looking at extensions for (perhaps even figuring out how to write one?). Is it at all like GIMP extensions?
That is definitely something that could be implemented with extensions. Unfortunately the internal functions in Inkscape aren't exported (thinks like intersect) so the only extension method available is using C++. This isn't impossible, but increases the complexity. If you are interested you can look at bluredge.cpp in the code base for an example. This sounds like something that could be a very useful extension.
As always, feel free to ask more questions :)
