Comment 4 for bug 674109

@~suv Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the behaviour you are describing without the patch. From what I understand, I can create a shape (A), assign a pattern to it and transform this pattern. After that every shape I create (B,C,...) that uses this pattern gets the transformations of (A) as default. I don't know how to reset it though. Could you give me an example (ie for dummies) I can follow in order to understand the differences you mentioned?

I am afraid that adding the feature requested in bug 370049 needs a different approach. Making Fill & Stroke remember last values of gradients and patterns is more likely a feature of the dialog.

Sure, I agree with you 100% on both points. I'll take a look to see what changes must be made to get the behaviour of point 1. As of point 2, I think that since a migration to gtkmm of Fill & Stroke is in progress, it is better to add it as a feature to the new code.
