From a user's perspective (read: my perspective) it would be extremely useful. If it could work in combination with the new printing functionality I would save many additional steps in about 70% of my editing purposes. My usual workflows wrt this are: dt (raw development) --jpg-> inkscape (collage) --png-> gimp, turboprint (printing) or dt (raw development) --jpg-> photoprint (collage) --tif-> gimp, turboprint (printing) I use them for both, n-up printing (e.g. 8 postcard sized prints on A3 paper) and for "real" collages. In most cases, inkscape is overqualified and therefore a lot of work is needed to achieve simple results (e.g. uniform framing) and photoprint's gui is buggy (at least on my machine) and too simple in some cases. Such a tool integrated in dt would save me many editing steps, intermediate files and loading of additional programs. Especially since these tools can do the job but are by no means tailored to the special requirement of photo collages (OK, photoprint should be, and it is not bad, but just not exactly that).
