Comment: If a majority wants 'Maximized' instead of 'Large' as the new default window size for new documents in 0.91,
I would vote for setting maximized as the default, provided it works well enough on all platforms.
then Inkscape needs a command line switch which allows to override that setting.
Why? command line is mostly for no-UI, so no-window, functionality.
- Color outside the page should be a slight shade different

Alternative proposal: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1174229
It's not really alternative, they can both be implemented, though I think the first one has a higher priority.
- Never make an object that is transparent and thus not selectable.
The 'last used style' sometimes picks up '0' opacity (or alpha) unexpectedly (IIRC from gradient stops?), which confuses a lot of (new) users. OTOH there exist use cases to create fully transparent objects - 'never' to me seems a bad solution for an issue which probably could be fixed otherwise (related to how the 'last used style' is picked up).
There are plenty of ways to select these - Tab, Outline mode for starters. So I agree, we may think about ways to make shooting oneself in the foot more difficult, but disallowing creation of transparent objects is NOT the way to go.
