if you look in your home directory for the inkscape install theres a file called default.svg thats what inkscape uses as a template when you hit the new doc button. Load it, change any settings you want to keep, save it. should now apply them to all new docs.
Okay, managed that. Seems to behave as expected too!
Oh yes, in case any other 'idiots' (like me!) decide they want to do this...
And assuming use of an Apple single button mouse...
Hold down CTRL and click on the Inkscape icon in the Applications folder to bring up a contextual menu and select 'Show Package Contents'.
This opens up a fresh Finder window in which is a folder called 'Contents'. Double click and then keep double-clicking to follow the path:
Contents>Resources>Templates.
Then you can open any of the templates (most of the names are self- explanatory) to edit them as you see fit.
This is also the route to getting at the clip-art and other stuff which is bundled with Inkscape but is normally invisible inside the app package.
I hope this is of use to someone, somewhere, sometime, browsing the archives!
