Nothing against dog food, and of course Draw is a useful tool. But to adopt a 
paintting tool for mockups is like writing code with a text processor. My 
scribbles are done with Balsamiq Mockups, which is a specialized tool. You may 
read [1] on how to use it. There are some similar applications with different 
features and other use cases. But no true usability engineer would apply 
Inkscape for that purpose. It's the same for KDE: only designers do work with 
Krita or Inkscape (BTW: there is a complete kit for desktop applications [2]). 
So what is expected from a mockup tool: 
* interactivity (on click either another page should open or the controls have 
to work as usual), 
* collaborativity (drafts need to get shared easily), 
* comprehensive set of control (you don't want to draw buttons every time, and 
those controls should be easy interchangable), 
* look and feel like scribbles (pixel-perfect design is misleading), 
* support for layout (arrangement, placement etc.)
IMHO it makes no sense to enhance Draw for this purpose. 

Cheers,
Heiko
