It didn't work?
That's strange. Here follow these steps EXACTLY.
1. Open the uncropped image. 2. Select box tool or Beizer 3. Box in the viewable area 4. Select the boxed area 5. SHIFT+Click on the outside area. 6. Go to OBJECT>CLIP>SET 7. It will now crop to that area. 8. You can now export the image as a PNG (TIP: Use the SELECTIO option if you want ONLY that area saved.)
Here is an example of a PNG file I cropped. Example Croped
Here is the original image: http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com/preview/halo/
If it doesn't work, something in the steps you followed are askew.

Flattening I guess would be about the same as grouping in InkS. Select all the items you want together. CTRL+G to group them.
Then draw a box around whatever it is you want to keep.
A box object or a selection? Neither one worked for me. IMO a crop tool would be most useful.
OBJECT>CLIP>SET
Bam! Cropped image.
Be aware, though, that the other stuff remains in the image, just invisible.
A destructive crop action could probably be done via boolean ops.
Seems likely. I'll try that when I have time. In the meantime I'll do screen captures of segments. I know how to make that technique work, crude as it may be.
