It's a known problem. It won't be fixed in 0.46 but maybe 0.47. There are just too many icons on the left toolbar, and the toolbar prevents reducing Inkscape's window size below what would cause them to be hidden. We must find a way to hide or remove some of these icons so the window can shrink further.
The Eee PC has a 800x480 screen, so ideally it should be possible to run Inkscape with most of the icons not displayed.

Hi!
My laptop has a 1280x800 screen, and a regular gnome environment (regular Ubuntu 7.10 installation). I have two panel, one at the top of my screen and the other at bottom (tasklist).
The problem is, that inkscape has a file menu, a global toolbar, and a tool's toolbar, and the tools' icon(the vertical one at the left). Overall, the inkscape windows is heigher as available screen (so screen_height - (top_panel+bottom+panel)).
So when i want to maximize inkscape, it does not do anything. It could be wider (horizontally), but pressing the maximize button cause losing the left and right windows border (about 3-4px), and nothing else.
I think that 1280x800 is fairly common resolution amongst the 15,4" laptops.
Is it a known problem? Or better it is dependent of the window manager? (i will try on xp too, in the next days). The inkscape 0.45 does not suffer this, because, there was fewer tool (no 3D tool for example).
If I undock the icon bar (at the left), it maximizes correctly.
Tried searching on launchpad, but didnt find a bugreport about this problem, but Im remembering discussing this problem in the past (having inkscape problems on small resolution). Do somebody remember such a discussion, or bugreport?
Best regards, Khiraly
