1) Bug from comment #38 reproduced on OS X as well (both with Gtk+/X11 and 
Gtk+/Quartz).
2) I won't recommend the new feature for general usage on OS X (X11): proposing 
to disable it by default [1] 
   (yes, I am aware that this issue apparently only affects one of the 
supported platforms, with probably the smallest user based of all)


[1] See attached screenshot, when an undocked dialog (Document Properties) was 
reopened on launch: I'd rather not  be greeted by Inkscape with such a new 
window (also applies for every new window opened from within the same 
instance). Also, to work around the issue, I'd rather not agree to trading the 
initial window size set by a custom default template with the feature to 
remember the dialog status (nor force Inkscape to use maximized windows all the 
time) - I did (and still do) recommend using a  custom template to many users 
who complain about the small initial window size (based on the current default 
template).

Screenshot done on OS X Lion 62bit, X11/XQuartz 2.6.3 (xorg-server 1.10.3), 
Inkscape 0.48+devel r10892+171579.v7.patch,
with default theme used in the official Inkscape package for Mac OS X, default 
preferences file
(same behavior on Mac OS X Leopard (32bit), X11/XQuartz 2.5.1 (xorg-server 
1.8.2))
