As for drop shadows, it looks like the Inkscape manual shows how to make <a href="http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Filters-Example-DropShadow.html" rel="nofollow">a live drop-shadow filter</a>!

Then, you can colorize the whole path as any other object !

I found myself in the same situation as you, considering for example Jude diagrams too boring and unpretty, and wanted something better. For now, getting used to the key bindings of Inkscape and knowing some tips (thank you!) is enough for me to create diagrams quite quickly. About connectors, I was trying to use them effectively but this is a hard thing to do. As you cannot control the path of the connectors, break them into multilines, or choosing another anchor point than the center of objects, drawing UML diagrams is quite a challenge... I found that using normal path, or polygons is just worth it. Anyway, thanks for the tips and the ideas! Thanks a lot for this nice set of tips.

I've found this REALLY challenging to do in Inkscape, so making flowcharts is a total pita. Do you have any howto tips for creating the connectors, arrows, etc.?
