This should probably be to -devel, but I'm in a hurry. Is it possible to make the WM_CLASS property of Inkscape's dialog equal to, say, "Inkscape", "inkscape-dialog" instead of having all windows as "Inkscape", "inkscape"? I want to try messing about with my WM's window-ignore preferences, since I think Inkscape will then work better with my WM (http://ratpoison.sf.net). -trent
