As a new Inkscape user, I have to admit that Kevin has -IMHO- quite a point. I can recall that in the very first five minutes I almost stopped using Inkscape (yes, forever) because I couldn't find out how to fill my juct-created rectangle with a green color, being used to these nice docking swatch toolbars Corel/Xara programs had.
Thanks for reminding! Would anyone object if I enable JonCruz' docked palette by default in new installs? Even though it's rather larger than I'd want (i'd prefer it to be less tall), it would be a big boost for newbie users.
Sorry if I sound negative, but for me it's about four times too high and I think the first thing I would do if I were to discover Inkscape is looking for a way of disabling it. It seems so big to me it's disruptive and makes for a negative first impression. Now, make it *much* smaller and I would always have it on as I do with the swatches dialog for the moment, waiting patiently for the palette to become smaller :-)
