I'm an Inkscape developer and I get frustrated when I try and draw
shapes and lines and they're invisible. It's infuriating to have styles
flow over from one document to another and I suspect that if we ran it
as a UX battery of tests, we'd be able to see user's not expecting this
kind of behaviour.

There's just a lot of problems with the way we save styles. Currently
all my text has a -2 char spacing and -10 line spacing. Lord only knows
how it got into that state, but it's not clear at all how to put it
back except by killing the preferences with fire.

Martin,
