Just tested this change out, and by default the window now shows up with a decent height, but seems to go to the maximum width of the screen. Attached is the screenshot of how the window was spawned on my system
I have the option of the default window size in the preferences set to "Large" This is on fedora 18. ** Attachment added: "inkscape_window.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/830663/+attachment/3663034/+files/inkscape_window.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/830663 Title: default window size is too small Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool: Fix Committed Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The default window size for Inkscape is too small. Attached is a screenshot showing how it starts for me every time. It would be nice if Inkscape started maximised or at least a whole lot bigger than it is now, so it can be useful immediately.
