The new quicklist option just runs the "inkscape" command, so it simply
launches a new Inkscape window with default settings.  As I understand
it, this is needed because the default launcher can't open multiple
windows...

In other words, the first time that you click on the launcher, Inkscape
opens a new window.  Subsequent clicks on the launcher just switch focus
to the existing window.  If the user wants to create a new document,
they need to use "File->New->..." in Inkscape.  With the new quicklist
option, the user can now also create additional drawings from the
launcher (right click on icon, choose "New Drawing").  In terms of
providing a cohesive user experience, this is probably a good thing!

I don't know about accessing recent documents from launchers.  Maybe one
of the Unity devs can help here?
