I think that just keeping a blank document open is a nice way to have inkscape pre-loaded and not having to relaunch it each time.
What I would really request instead is that, whenever Inkscape is executed, it to check for already existing instances. If one such exists, then it just creates a new document in that instance of Inkscape, instead of opening a completely new instance of the application. This would be nice because:
- The time to open a new inkscape document would be greatly reduced
once you already have a running instance -- whenever you click on the inkscape icon in your launch bar, or type the command in the terminal, you'd get a new empty document to play with.
- The new document would join the previously running ones, and
copy-and-paste would work between them. Right now, if you re-launch inkscape you can't copy-paste between the two instances.
- Possibly some other reasons I can't think of now..

This is something I would very much like to see as well.
Currently I usually start Inkscape by clicking on a document, then use the file browser for any others I need, but this is vary inconvenient.
