One nice interface improvement you could make for inkspace would be to crap the csdi interface in favor of a sdi interface in which toolboxes and pallettes are shared in between windows. There is a gnome HIG bug in which both seth and greg merchan have agreed that csdi should be removed from the HIG http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116599.
CSDI is the GIMP-style UI where the toolbox window is the 'master' window with a menu, and the document windows are subordinate to it. Sort of a halfway between MDI (where all the document windows are contained by the 'master' window), and SDI, where each document window is self-sufficient.
I am personally strongly in favor of a switch to SDI, with a shared set of palettes.
That makes sense to me too. There have been a few feature requests for Sodipodi to have this, so there's strong interest in it.
I've added it as a task to the roadmap for "Milestone [Future]". We'll figure out what exactly needs to be done and plan it out at some point. Maybe this is easy enough that someone could bang the change right out.
