thanks
The attached patch allows for individual users to keep their preferred
default template in ~/.inkscape/templates/default.svg
with this patch applied, a user who wants to have a default template
of, say, US letter, could simply do:
mkdir -p ~/.inkscape/templates
ln /usr/share/inkscape/templates/Letter.svg ~/.inkscape/templates/default.svg
A better patch would allow additional templates in this per-user
directory (~/.inkscape/templates) to show up in the File|New submenu
as well, so you could add your own customized templates without
superuser privileges.
Even better would be a graphical way to create this link. Perhaps in
the Inkscape Preferences Dialog, under the "Misc" tab, a choose-one
drop-down list of available templates, titled "Default Template"
Hope this is useful,
