Comment 40 for bug 171579

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))
