Symbols are part of the SVG standard 1.1 since a long time, Inkscape
integrated it with version 0.91, so Fedora user can already use it.
Inkscape brings a set of symbol library as default stored under .../symbols
you can open the dialog with choosing object->symbols or Ctrl-Shift-Y and
just drag & drop in the needed one. Visio stencil files .vss can also be
used as symbol librarys.
The feature to convert a drawing into an symbol isnt integrated yet but
will come, but it can be done by hand
