the window refuses to shrink below a certain width
I want my inkscape window to be very small because I just edit something small in it and I want to watch TV in parallel (ok, there are better reasons but I generally cascade the most important windows on my desktop, like the terminal window, which is just below the TV window). The inkscape window refuses to shrink below a certain width. Please overthink this restriction.

There is a bug ticket in the tracker on this. I believe Jon Cruz had been working on this but his house burned down a while back so he's been gone dealing with that for several months.
If you can code C++ and would be interested in working on this, I am sure Jon or others would be willing to give some pointers.
Otherwise, be patient; we know about the issue, and roughly what needs done, so it'll just be a matter of someone having the time to work on it.

You can just hide the toolbox, commands bar, and tool controls bar. After that the window can be made much smaller.
