In fact, I would recommend we change this behaviour. When the user wants to close a window, it should not have side-effects like opening up a new window. It seems like a bug, as it goes against the convention of all other programs.
Also, if the user opens inkscape, and immediately chooses to open a recent file, or indeed any of the new files options from the file menu (based on template, etc.) it should open it up in the same window. It's useless to keep around a new document window when it is clearly not needed/wanted.

This only happens if you use the hotkey ctrl-w to close the window. This is why I stated using the x to close the window.
Continuously opening up new blank documents... it's annoying as heck. :) -C

You may have noticed that Inkscape opens windows for each file that's
open.
In fact, if you open inkscape without specifying a file (like from the program icon or command line) it will open up a new document.
This is in contrast to programs like GIMP which open up each file in a
tab
inside one program window. It makes sense for GIMP to keep the program open when the last file is
gone
because you can open a new file and it becomes a tab in the window. Since Inkscape opens up a window for each file, if there are no files, there are no windows. :) So if you wanted Inkscape to stay open... what would you see? Should it
pop
up another empty file?
Actually, that's what Inkscape does since quite a while.
