Jon, is it too difficult to store this in prefs?
Another question from me: What if we reduce the height of the palette a bit? Since it's not yet resizeable, we need to choose a good default, and right now IMHO it's too high.
Another question: Why does the random tree (as in effects) always appear (at least in my latest CVS inkscape version) at the top left corner *above* the page boundaries, instead of the center of the page. The latter would IMO be more user friendly.
To _really_ fix this, it should be ideally inserted into your current view, appropriately zoomed.
Ted: can you tell me how difficult it will be to add several new command line parameters passed to the effects:
- the bbox of the selection
- the bbox of the visible part of the canvas
- the current layer
Even if currently effects don't use this, it will be very useful for effect authors, and can potentially make all effects much more usable.
Finally: When I select to fill an object with a radial gradient, Inkscape always selects to have the full transparency at the borders of the object and the none-transparency at the center of the object. That is fine, but often I just need to have it the other way around. What I do it manually edit the radial gradient to get it my way. It there a 'one-click' way to quickly reverse the gradient?
Yes, Shift+R in Gradient tool.

Shouldn't be too hard.
Aaron, how will the current effects respont to command line parameters that they don't understand? Will they ignore them?

Looks like they don't like it. But these new options only need to be added to inkex.py so it isn't a big deal.

Not difficult to store. The trick is just to figure out a good way to store things.
Given that I'm working in a layers dialog skeleton for Mental now, I was going to attack that at the same time. Having two things to play with makes for a better setup on storing prefs. Eventually we'll want a large number of items in the panels.

At the moment it's going with the minimal height that GTK+ thinks it can have. Before final freeze I'll have something worked out to allow that to be changed.
