I like to see some type of simplification in inkscape.
In icons.svg in the style attribute of rect elements there is ie font-size.
It is not added to new rects anymore. Those rects were created in old versions.
This makes no sense and can deleted. Also unused gradients etc.
Yes. That might be a good project for someone to take on. However I think it needs to wait until we streamline CSS properties handling, otherwise it will be very hard to do cleanly. CSS support is currently a mess (as you could notice when doing the stringstream patches - there are way too many places where properties are built on the spot with ugly printfs, without much care about cascading, defaults, etc.)
Adib. PS: I have no glue what this Path-cleanup is doing
It removes empty subpaths AFAIK. Not too necessary, but let it remain until we have a more useful cleanup command.

We also can't blindly delete unused gradients -- sometimes the user might want them preserved (e.g. because a downstream tool uses them, or because they are intended to be referenced from other SVG files).
It's probably better to provide some means to mark gradients or other SVG objects as "garbage-collectable" (e.g. an inkscape:gc-policy attribute?) -- new gradients and such created by Inkscape would be marked as collectable at first, though the user could mark them as permanent if they so chose.
That way, we wouldn't be deleting things against the users' will, but Inkscape could still automatically clean up after itself.

True.

I don't quite get what kind of behaviour you're trying to describe. Anyway, why not just have a delte button left-side of the edit button for now? That way the user can easily deside to remove any gradient he or she wants to.
But talking about gradients and colors I'd love to see the whole ui being redone, though I'm not a hundred percent sure yet, what it would best look like. I'm thinking of something that is indesign like, with swatches and gradients to choose from.
Take care
