Hi y'all. I'm back.
Trying another tutorial from Nick Saporito:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNGsrJCxdXo
At the 8:30 mark (or there about) he uses a radial gradient to add highlights to the sphere. Easy enough. No problem doing that.

He continues to work on the sphere until around the 17:05 minute mark when he groups the separate entities and scales the group down. It is at this point that things fall apart for me.

Notice how the graphics seems almost white or "washed out"?
Seems the radial gradient isn't being detected or included in the window selection at the time of the group command. Perhaps because it's not "inside" (for lack of a better term) the entity it's associated with?

Any toughts or suggestions on this one?
(BTW, I'm currently running Ver 0.92.2 of Inkscape on a Windows 7 Professional OS.)

In the select tool's settings, on the top right there are four icons controlling the behave. Toggle in the one that has a tooltip of "move gradients with object".

Thanks Lazur.
Kind of a DUH! moment huh? :-$

It is mentioned in the manual (http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Attributes-Fill-Stroke.html#Attributes-Gradients) though it's not the first thing one would expect.
Maybe if it was more of an attribute setting and not a tool setting -however it is the latter, svg doesn't give like "scalable" and "strict" values for fill attributes.
