I have now committed the patch [1],[2] I've been working on for quite some time. It gives Inkscape a dock panel right of the canvas on which dialogs can be docked. A part of an external library, GDL, has been included in the tree with this patch, this had to be done as GDL isn't widely available and the fact it demanded some Inkscape specific customizations. The good thing is that this implies that Inkscape's list of dependencies remains unchanged.
The design of the dialog system allows the new dockable dialog behavior to exist along side the old floating dialogs behavior.
This is excellent news! :-)
Good work, I'm looking forward to playing with this.

Note that this change only applies to gtkmm:ified dialogs, i.e. dialogs that subclass UI::Dialog. I've gtkmm:ified "Fill & Stroke" and with this change, that version is now default. Dialogs left to be gtkmm:ified are the "XML Editor", "Tiled Clones", "Object Properties" (though it's about to be removed/replaced IIRC), "Text and Font". The "Find" dialog has been gtkmm:ified by Johan but is disabled by default as it needs testing (please help).
Now let's hope I didn't break something important... ;)
