Here is a guy making icons in Inkscape. He has a few beefs about icon preview. I think most are known, but I thought I'd post it anyway, just in case :)
Quoting that page:
It shows a preview of the current selection scaled to a few standard icon sizes, the largest being 48x48. (I also haven't figured out the purpose of the popup menu in the preview window, which doesn't seem to do anything). I'm not quite sure why it only shows the current selection; the only way I could figure out to get it to show the whole canvas was to create a dummy rectangle that matched the size of the canvas, and preview that. It's also not a live preview: you have to click "refresh" now and then.
-- Exactly what I was saying. Jon, do you have plans to make this more usable? I'm asking not because I personally need this feature, but because its level of incompleteness is certainly above the average that we have in Inkscape. I would love to see this resolved one way or the other.
