[Gary Palmer <830663@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just installed Inkscape on Mavericks on an iMac for the first time.
The Inkscape window opens and it is easy to expand the page to full
screen, but the apparent work page is a very small rectangle within a
much larger work space. Is one supposed to work within the tiny window
or ignore it, in which case it would be distracting? Or is it just badly
sized for my screen,and if so, is there a fix? I have included a screen
capture of the window shrunk to a small portion of the screen, but the
size of the work page remains the same inadequate size. Ideally, the
work page would take up most of the screen.

Also, why does the application label say X11 rather than Inkscape?

Title:
  default window size is too small

Bug description:
  The default window size for Inkscape is too small. Attached is a
  screenshot showing how it starts for me every time. It would be nice
  if Inkscape started maximised or at least a whole lot bigger than it
  is now, so it can be useful immediately.
