Hi,

Is there a way to control the default document size in Inkscape? I'd like to be able to open a new document at a certain size, with the grid displayed.

Yes. Save a template document as {prefix}templates/default.svg and it will be used instead.

The prefix is typically /usr/share/inkscape on Linux or [inkscape dir]/share on Windows.

We really need to make it work with ~/.inkscape/templates too...

Failing that, can I at least customize the list of sizes offered in the New submenu?

Yes, just add your templates to that dir and they will appear in submenu.
