For testing purpose, a new patch merging the ones from comments #12 and #28. It also adds a new preference option for the default window size (small [default], large or maximized) in the Interface>Window section.
Note that the current patch only works if "Save and restore geometry for each document" is set. IMHO, since it's a default preference, it should also work with "Don't save window geometry". ** Patch added: "830663-DefaultSizeAndDefs.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/830663/+attachment/3655763/+files/830663-DefaultSizeAndDefs.patch -- 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: In Progress 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.
