Hello all,
I am a student looking at participating in GSoC this year by improving Inkscape's UI. I am formulating my proposal right now, so any input related to UI changes would be great.
If you have any specific UI improvements aside from those already mentioned, please let me know. Any input is appreciated. Thank you very much for your time!

For screens with a low Y axis res such as the EEE (480px) I noticed the left hand tool dialog does not provide a scrollbar - the bar just runs offscreen. Only a minor niggle, and in reality I probably should not be running inkscape on the EEE but I have a valid reason to do so, and it would be nice to be able to accomodate it.
Fwiw, I've seen reports that by careful theme selection and undocking the left toolbar makes it more usable on the EEE. For the more ambitious, a modest amount of codebase hacking can trim the toolbars down enough to even fit it in 640x480 (see my blog at http://bryceharrington.org/drupal/inklite). JonCruz and others are doing some more intrinsic work in making inkscape work on small form factors - you should offer to assist in testing, or small coding projects if you're interested.
