Thanks @user287001. I gave up using InkScape long ago. But before doing so I've tested your approach and it came with a number of annoyances - maybe due to my lack of expertise in shapes drawing. It happens that when moving the state symbols then the connectors have to adapt to the new positions (in addition to stick to the state) and this doesn't work.

@JuanLanus there are real flowcharter programs which handle the connectors cleverly. Search for them. Even Open Office has better tools for this than Inkscape.

Yes I know! Only that every now and then I bite the SVG bait of InkScape and try to use it for the very few diagrams I draw every other year. After wasting some time I solved the issue with the google docs capabilities.
