it appears I replied only to bulia last time so here is an update on the bug.

this is the time to raise red flags (and bug id's).this is not really a show stopper but I have discovered an annoying bug which may be really easy to fix: the font drop down list in the text toolbar does not stay on top (on Mac OS X at least, with GTK 2.10)
did it work in 0.44?
the problem is the same with 0.44.1 but seems in fact more complicated that just a not-on-top dialog. It looks like - on the first click the list opens but closes right afterwards. - on the second click the drop down button switches to another state: there is a dotted line following the border of the button. I don't know what it means. in this state the button is not responsive to any more clicks. - after clicking once on the canvas or waiting a bit (I don't know how much) the button becomes responsive again and the third click eventually opens the list. I don't know if all this is very clear so I've made a screencast to show the behavior. it's in quicktime format, with sorenson video codec and AAC audio codec (so very mac-ish, sorry about that) but is readable by VLC (and quicktime of course). I could not post it here so I made it available on my site: http://jo.irisson.free.fr/dropbox/inkscape/Inkscape_font_list_problem- screencast.mov
I have added this to the bug report and modified the title accordingly. It seems complicated and was already broken in 0.44 so it will probably stay that way for 0.45
it may be easy to fix because the font size drop down list in the same toolbar works like a charm so it might just be a matter of comparing these two pieces of code.
unfortunately they're done quite differently...
I hope this helps.
