Comment 8 for bug 168336

D'oh! It works if you select the text first, then the bezier path... would it be possible for inkscape to say that instead of the python traceback?

EG: "To use the perspective effect, select the item you wish to modify first, then the perspective path it should follow"?

or something like that :)
