Anyone wanting to be bored silly can read it on: http://otherwiseingle.blogspot.com/2011/08/if-inkscape-could-wouldnt-it-be-g... (under the DRY heading).
Quoting from the blog:
Make the gui 'go away'
I don't need bars that cross the entire canvas just to hold file, edit, etc.
(…)
In fact, nothing but the canvas.
Ever tried <Shift+F11>? The dock still can be shown/hidden with <F12> (or all dialogs switched to floating instead of docked, in 'Inkscape Preferences > Windows > Dialog behavior'). Rulers (Ctrl+R) and scrollbars (Ctrl+B) can be toggled on/off individually even if all GUI parts are hidden.
