The first issue is that the dock status doesn't stick across sessions.
Yup, discussed very recently. We need someone to
a) switch to upstream libgdl and have some anticipated features for free b) make a switch in Preferences to store docks info in preferences.xml
The second problem is the width of the docks. The fill&stroke is excessively large! I have a resolution of 1280X1024 and it still take a HUGE chunk of space. and all the widgets are so large you can barely fit two docked dialogs in the same screen. if you compare that to other applicaitons - Photoshop, BLender, Gimp - you'll see that usually widgets on graphic apps are smaller. This way an artist can keep many open dialogs and still have a large canvas to work on.
They rely on icons, we rely on labels. If we do this for Fill'n'Stroke, we have to do it for all the rest dialogs to keep consistency. But icons won't work for LPE dialog for instance.
Lastly, is it possible to add a "layers" button to the main toolbar
Hmmm. Layers -> Layers... Ctrl+Shift+L. You don't like it? :)
