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.
Just a suggestion.

Thanks. Would you mind elaborating a bit on this? There had been some brief discussion about HIG earlier and we decided that we'd like to have Inkscape support it more firmly but didn't really dig into what that decision would mean. It sounds like this request falls well in line with that, but could you explain what CSDI is?
Part of the hope with the Gtkmmification is to move to using standard widgets and standard, widely accepted interface styles. We don't know how big of an effort this'll be, yet, but I'm guessing it's something we'll want to all team up on.
None of us have used Gtkmm for anything significant like this before, so first there's some coming-up-to-speed work to do. Anyone interested in learning (or teaching!) with the rest of us is more than welcome.
