dang, the tile clones that obvious? I actually need to go back and fix it, but I want to talk to one of the inkscape devs first about an enhancement that might make it waaaay more powerful.
If you ever wonder about any feature, either hop onto the jabber room, or you can hit up the #inkscape channel on freenode (if neither of those makes sense, PM me and I'll elaborate). Never in a million years would I have been able to achieve it without talking to the guy that added Tile Clones.
I don't really know how to use it, though. I should try more on it.
NICE!
