I have failed to update the flake testApp since the introduction of 
loadOdf() and friends which require me to link to KoStore.  Otherwise you 
could use that one.  (http://people.fruitsalad.org/zander/software/flake)

The 'group' command goes a long way already by creating a parent-child 
relationship.  I guess it would be great if someone created a new command 
that did almost the same, but would allow the user to make a parent-child 
relationship and allow the parent to clip the child (so you can create a 
cutout of an image, for example)

Hmm, not entirely.  Using the 'insert->make inline' menu option you can 
make any shape a child of a text shape.  The problem is that I was lazy 
and defaulted the parent shape to the main text shape.  Which you can't 
more or rotate ;(
If someone feels lucky it would be great if they could finish 
KWView::inlineFrame() to use any frame and make the child shape appear at 
the current position instead of always at a hardcoded position.  Anyway, 
thats slightly off topic already ;)
