What your decribing should be the way it works already.

I think whats happened here is the exception of CSG from some graphical object 
insert rules mean its now missing the Photon rule. Try the attached 
baseinsertrules.xml 

Should be put in share/apps/kpovmodeler ( which us usually found in /usr 
or /opt/kde )

I'll commit it as soon as the immediate freeze is off on the 18th.
