Possibly reporter doesn't realized it's docked now? I actually thought the same thing at first, but I was waiting for the dialog to pop up. But instead, now it's docked (apparently by default) and it a bit smaller than before. Can be undocked, if prefered. Just a thought :-)
Please add information about your OS/platform and Inkscape version (see Inkscape menu 'Help > About Inkscape') to the bug description.
Likely, the dialog opens off-screen: /bugs.launchpad .net/inkscape/ +bug/379463 /bugs.launchpad .net/inkscape/ +bug/1244397
