Thanks Rob, that would of course work! I'm not so happy about the solution, because I don't really see, why the order of the objects should affect the wrapping (is that really so in Inkscape?), but I accept that it might be just the way it works. I'm not so happy because the reason why I'm testing it, is that I will want to teach it to other people and they will ask me, why it is so complicated. Take care!
