current snapshot is amazing!!! but here are some issues...
Hello there!
I just installed the 20040510 snapshot - the things you guys have done with "clone", "inkscape preferences" and stroke style are very cool and useful. Thanks!
There are several things I'd like to note though.
1. Look at the snapshot (attached). Some drop-down lists are smaller-sized but the font is still sized as in bigger widgets, and on muy system I can't see the current selected option.
2. Printer command is not yet stored :-(
3. It is the most minor issue, but it looks like Inkscape now closes and opens it's window on startup and on opening new files. It is fairly okay, but this makes a sort of blinking so maybe there's a better way to make this "virgin" tag work instead of killing the previous instance. Or maybe I just don't understand something ;-)
Good luck and thanks for your great work!

Confirmed here on Win32. If you remove the
gtk_widget_set_size_request (us->menu, AUX_OPTION_MENU_WIDTH, AUX_OPTION_MENU_HEIGHT);
in unit-menu.cpp things get better, but then any unit selector in a GTK table seems to be start out too big, only to shrink when you click on it. Haven't got time to investigate further.

Confirmed here as well.

I'm not sure exactly what code your talking about right now (and I don't have the time to go look) - but usually (if I understand what you are describing) is fixed by using a gtk_widget_show on the specific widget instead of a gtk_widget_show_all on the parent. I think that the second function creates some sort of delayed allocation of space - and the first one forces the allocation at the time of the call.

This is related to restoring the document view settings (document size/position). Generally, this means that the re-used window looks like it has vanished and come back, when it has actually just moved and resized.
I'm not sure if there is a "fix" for this... ?
