The Middle Mouse Button Drag is IMHO the easiest method with Inkscape
0.48.4, but according to <http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html
/View-Pan.html> you can also activate Space Bar+Left Mouse Drag thanks
to an option in the Inkscape preferences, but it prevents using the
Space Bar to toggle between tools (the manual also gives some other
useful shortcuts)

Note that Space Bar + Move works in the next major revision (0.91,
currently under development), and that the tools toggle issue is fixed
(see Bug #383871 "Let space switch to selector tool even when used for
panning").

Title:
  space bar should allow to easily move around the document without
  using scrollbars

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
  Fix Committed
Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Since, I believe, the Nineties, all graphic editing and viewing
  software I have ever seen allows you to navigate horizontally and
  vertically through the document by hitting the space bar and moving
  the mouse, or by hitting the spacebar, clicking and dragging.

  Inkscape lacks this essential feature and obliges you to move through
  the document horizontally and vertically separately by using the
  scrollbars, which is tremendously annoying. Or perhaps it has another
  keyboard shortcut to allow you to easily move around the document
  using the mouse, different from the universal convention that has been
  omnipresent in every other graphic editing software in the last 20
  years or so.

  In either case, it should be fixed.
