Is there a way to draw wiggly lines with Inkscape? (I don't mean
hand-drawn wiggles, those are never regular; I need wiggles which have
the same size everywhere on the path). A related question: is there a
way to draw paths with a "spring" or "coil" shape superposed on it?
Thanks,
Kasper

Try the Kochify extension: select a single wiggle and do Kochify Load,
then select the path itself and do Kochify. The wiggle will be applied
repeatedly along the path.

Not directly, but you can create a spiral, then convert it to path and
Alt+drag the central node (see an example in the middle of
http://inkscape.osuosl.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.44-nodesculptin...)

Inkscape. Draw Freely.

If you draw out a standard rectangle with a stroke and no fill, you
can turn it into a squiggly line with Effects >> Render >> Function
Plotter. For a basic squiggle, you'd want either sin(x) or cos(x),
though you could probably make more interesting squiggles with things
like sin(x)**2 or sin(x**2). I assume the script takes '**' for powers
as it's written in Python.
Yay, maths.

How to display and input values of opacity and blur?
1. As percent, 0 to 100, or 0.0 to 100.0.
Pro: easier to pronounce; more common in "real life"; spinbutton can
be shorter by one character (dot).
Plus the GIMP uses %.
Contra: requires a "%" label after the spinbutton; if the
label is
not there (as e.g. in the statusbar there's little room for it), it
may be more difficult to guess, when you see e.g. "15", that the
maximum is 100; requires a change from the Inkscape status quo.
2. As numbers from 0.0 to 1.0 (with two or three significant digits).
Pro: no need for a % label; easier to guess what the maximum is
(though still not entirely obvious, unless you have a slider too); no
need to change the status quo.
Contra: slightly more "geeky", more cumbersome to type and
pronounce, requires slightly wider spinbutton.
I would underline "cumbersome to type".

boringly as sin(x) but twice as fast and half as wide.

All right, try sin(x)**3 :P
