Nodes
Bounding box corners

Snap to grids:
Snap only when closer then 1

Maybe you didn't get much response yet because it requires watching a 18 min. tutorial.

Please download a prerelease of the upcoming v0.47 version of Inkscape, and see if snapping now works as expected. At least it should have improved a lot since v0.46. If it still doesn't work then just come back to this forum and describe the problem in words, and you'll probably get a decent answer ;-)

...or just contact me over at the Screencasters.heathenx.org and I'll be happy to answer your questions. ;)

Just hold your left mouse button down when hovering over the bottom quadrant and move left to right until the half circle remains open. I made a short quick-n-dirty video for you.
