Hello all!

Well, I finally downloaded Inkscape again and gave it a try. I hadn't seen it since the old 0.35-pre days, and I must say this new interface you all talked so much about is MARVELOUS! I *love* it! With the tools organized this way I can finally make my way into some rather basic designs! (I couldn't do it before, for I wasn't able, ever, to find where the things I needed were). I was raised in the old Freehand school, so this definitely suits me much better!

I do have some comments, however.

Well, at first glance, the "Click, Shift+click, drag around objects to select." message is not the warm welcome message I would expect. It would be great to have a "Welcome to Inkscape!" status just as the program starts if the new window contains a new document.

The about menu entry, also, lacks the typical GNOME about icon. In the about window, there's Federico Mena (Quintero, I suppose) written as "Frederico".

I drew a rectangle and tried to move it to some given position with fixed width and height. After setting X, one (well, I did) would normally use Tab to switch to the Y field. It does switch, but focus seems to be lost somewhere, for the next number zooms in or out.

Also, I truly don't know why, my mouse cursors seem to be broken. I'm sorry I can't make a screenshot of this, but they look odd. The "icon" looks almost fine, save it's all trashed and shifted and... well, it doesn't look right.

I just grabbed the code from CVS one hour ago.

It looks great as it is! I'll try to make my dad use it and I'll let you know about any HID issues.

Greetings to you all!
