Here are tho mockups:

Cool, I like the look. I like the vertical one because I think that it is more similar to the orientation all our other windows. I think they would be easier to arrange if they are all similar shape.
As for me, I prefer the vertically oriented oen as well, because
a) it's easier to distribute widgets on it :); b) I have a 16:10 ratio laptop screen, which is why I prefer to keep palettes on left and right sides, not on top/bottom ones; c) if we ever come to grouping palettes a-la GIMP, vertical approach will be most likely preferable.
- I might be missing some feature plans for this palette. No probs,
again :) I can redesign current mockups to make them fit your plans.
One thing that you should probably make room for (but isn't implemented yet) is choosing a format for the save (so, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, etc.) I'm thinking perhaps a drop down selector above the filename?
For that I need to know what is faster -- to select one of available formats in a combobox, or to type three letters after the dot in the filename to let Inscape automagically figure out, what export algorithm to use.
Another "little" thingie is that exporting will require defining some settings like compress ration, use of LZW compression algorithm (for TIFF) etc. How a user would like to reach them? I'm not using this palette all the time, so I would like to listen to people, who have other experience. Use cases, please :)
