I think you can get some answers here on list for punctual questions, 
for example to round the corners the rectangle tool has a selector in 
the upper toolbar.

Also, Inkscape had an useful mailing list for users: 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=inkscape-user 
and there is an external forum: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/
