Also, the behaviour/frustration of working with floating dialogs depends on what platform you're on. I use Inkscape on Linux primarily but also on XP. In Linux, the various dialogs float on top and I move them around or close them if they're in my way. I'm used to it and it works ok for me. However on XP, the various tool dialogs sink beneath the main drawing window as soon as I click on the main drawing window which makes bringing those dialogs back up a major frustration. I usually have to cycle through 20 windows to get the Fill & Stroke dialog back up on top. I'm assuming this has to do with the differences in window management between platforms.
I have 0.46 but haven't used it enough to know whether the dockable dialogs improve that or not.
I still think using Compiz to group the tool dialogs together is the best. Then you can just flip through them very quickly.

The next version integrates the dialogs into the window. You can install version .46 to get it now but it's still being developed.
