@Randy:
(Inkscape v.0.48.1)
Indeed there are more options available, and I encountered the difference in the "Create Tiled Clones" dialog. To achieve the wanted result, I used the following settings:
In the "Shift" tab: all zeroes, also the checkboxes are unchecked.
In the "Scale" tab: all checkboxes unchecked, and all the number boxes zero again, except for the two Exponents which are 1, and the "Scale X -> Per Column" on -10.
The other things were just as explained/showed in the tutorial.
(Shift tab)
(Scale tab)

Can you update this post? I just downloaded InkScape recently and am trying to follow your instructions and there are more options available than are show in your tutorial. Whe I try to do only what you show it does not work.

Yes or not. If you want to achieve a lens effect, this tutorial is fine (thanks ;). If you wan to put something on the "sphere" surface, then parallel lines are needed, and are esasy to do with the new path effects in version 0.47. Just put two paths on both sides of the circle, combine them, apply the stitch sub-path effect, and adjust de curvature.

There is a mistake in the tutorial.
Parallels work different from meridians; They never cross each other, they are parallel to each other.

These imaginary lines are actually called Meridians and Parallels.

Meridians are expressed in degrees of longitude, or how far a place is away from the prime meridian. The prime meridian runs through Greenwich, England.

Imaginary lines that run east and west on a map. Parallels represent degrees of latitude, or how far a place is away from the equator. The equator's latitude is 0° and the poles are 90° south and north. One degree of latitude equals about 69 miles.

Longitude together with latitude forms a grid on which it is possible to locate almost any place on the earth.
