All,
1) I need to get the colour used in some text for other lines of text, but for some reason the eye dropper is not very efficient there. What do I do wrong? I sometimes workaround copying the text and then changing it, but using the same colour often means the font and size are different (still easier to find the right font than test the colours in the Palette).
2) When importing SVGs into Scribus, I often need the colours to be defined in the CMYK space. Does the colour space change automatically? In Scribus, you can define a colour in a colour space and then set it in RGB or CMYK or HSL...
3) Sometimes in a specific project it is needed to use a small set of colours (eg corporate look and feel). Is there a way to push a colour in a subset (small palette) in order to find it easily?
4) Also I need to grab colours from bitmap files which I import temporarily as background in order to build the shapes on top. How can I use the eye dropping tool to grab the colour on the bitmap? I do not seem to be able to do it (if there's a problem between the keyboard and the chair be merciful) At the moment I just keep my image editor open and take a mental note of the RGB hex value.... it's good for the neurones but is there another way?

Use Agave (http://home.gna.org/colorscheme/) to select your desired colors, export the favorites in a palette file (.gpl) and copy it in /~.inkscape/palettes/

I saw a few times the color picker failing to get a color from a bitmap, is such cases I do a selection with it instead of a single click.

Color management enhancements have been underway, and getting more activity lately. We've also been coordinating with the Scribus team so that once we do get more color palette and CMYK support in Inkscape, Scribus will then be able to use it.

The current way is to save a .gpl palette file in the GIMP format into a common location, like ~/.inkscape/palettes, and it will be globally available in Inkscape. After more enhancements we will be adding per-document palette support.

This may be the dropper bug in 0.45. Try 0.45.1, it should be fixed there.

Again, this should work properly in 0.45.1.
