yes maybe, but i have the feeling that you need many more changes to
multiple duplicate to get to the same result, while the "insert >
frames" dialog can simply be enhanced by a "use selected item as a
base" option (with some more features :-).

personally, i feel that the two dialogs should get merged and renamed.
