Hi,
I am interested in having an option to start inkview fullscreen + have left/right mouse buttons change slides. I could try to code that. I can see inkscape got --slideshow option - are there plans to integrate inkview into inkscape? I hope not.

It should be fairly easy to get into hacking on the inkview code, it's fairly concise. Adding options should be relatively straightforward too, but let us know if you have questions.
We've gone back and forth about whether or not to merge inkview into inkscape, vs. keeping it separate but making it able to use more of inkscape's internals. We have no solid plans regarding inkview at this point, and I suspect its future direction is going to be largely driven by the desires of whomever decides to spend some time working on it.
So... if you have some good ideas for improving it, have at it! :-)

Inkview was deliberatedly seperated out avoid overcrowding inkscape. It was a smart way to avoid feature creap and it will be interesting to see how things progress as more animation functionality is added, and inkview could continue to provide a useful outlet.
Command line options are good to have too but having them as the only option isn't good for most users. I do think Inkview would benefit from having a menubar and toolbar with basic functionality for next and previous pages.

I've thought that a context menu might be of value, so you could right click and do "Edit in Inkscape", etc.
The trick though is that since inkview is strictly a wrapper around SPView, it lacks access to most of the GUI widget stuff, so adding menubars and toolbars would be a sizeable undertaking. Not impossible (maybe even fun!)
