Forgive me if this sounds like a newbie question but where the heck are
the layer controls???

(not a newbie question at all given the current state of how layers
work)
The last official build (.39) did not have layer controls (and if it
did, I don't know where they are).
As far as I know, for layers you'll need to be using a more recent build
(the newer the better). In the current builds, there is a menu for
layers with a number of controls, and some other controls (such as the
layer selector) are located in the status bar.
I believe a layer dialog is due for the next official release (.40)
which is due in the next couple weeks. (correct me if I'm wrong guys)
Currently, using layers isn't the easiest, especially if coming from
other graphics apps and being familiar with how they function. But as
stated, with this next official release the layers will be much easier
to control.

New subject: tablets and persctive?
hi all
a friend of my complained recently, that he could not use pressure feature of his wacom
tablet in inkscape. neither linux or windows version. i was just wondering, is this a
linux or inkscape problem?
another thing that i might find useful some day is the abillity of changing the
perspective of the objects. that is, modyfing the rounding box of object(s) and thus
deformating them accordingly.

I wouldn't really call it a problem with inkscape, it's really just a
feature that has not been implemented yet. There are already requests
that have been submitted regarding that specific feature. And believe
me, I can't wait till I can use my tablet (with pressure support)
either!

Unfortunately this is another feature that has been requested that last
I knew, there were discussions going on as to what the best way to
implement it would be.
Honestly, if you have the time, I'd recommend checking the feature
requests that are on sourceforge to see if there's anything that you
think people missed when discussing these items. Even if you just add a
"I'd like to see this too" comment, I'm sure it helps the devs to
prioritize new features.
And because I have a couple mins...
The existing Feature Requests for what you asked about are as follows:
Tablet pressure support (ID 950969):

The last official build (.39) did not have layer controls (and if it
did, I don't know where they are).
The layer selector in the status bar was present in 0.39 also, actually,
though normally disabled. It'd only be enabled if you were editing
inside a group (right click on a group, select the "edit group..."
command).
The truth is that we had the layer infrastructure finished for 0.39, but
the UI is taking much longer. :/
I believe a layer dialog is due for the next official release (.40)
which is due in the next couple weeks. (correct me if I'm wrong guys)
At this point it doesn't look like the layers dialog will be finished in
time for 0.40, though all of the normal layer operations will be
available via the layers menu and the layer selector.

Yup. That's it. Got InkScape 0.39. Will be expecting v0.40 eagerly! Thanks!
