Attached is a patch to

1. Merge the metadata dialog into the document properties.

2. Adds buttons on the Document Properties metadata page to load/save "default" metadata to user preferences.xml

Note: One issue with default metadata is that the multiline metadata is not correctly loaded (loaded without the newlines) from preferences , seems to be an issue with the preference loading function.

Could also add a checkbox to Inkscape Preferences to "Add default metadata to new documents".

Any other suggestions or comments ?

What if I use custom templates which include some metadata (and/or license) information? Would this setting override templates, or only be in effect if the used template doesn't provide any defaults?
