Bug Description
When creating a new document a document properties dialog should appear allowing the user to choose from a template and to customize the document settings.
This dialog may be different to the existing Document Properties dialog as it should just show the most important settings. An example dialog for this would be the one in Photoshop as it was posted in http://
If it's decided to reuse the same dialog, the Document Properties dialog should probably first be reworked as described in the blueprint https:/

I believe that most of what you want here is already available within existing inkscape. When you start Inkscape by itself, with no document specified, you are actually loading a default document, whose properties you can edit if you want to. On Windows, this default document is located at: share\templates \default. svg.
C:\Program Files\Inkscape\
At this location there are also other templates such as default_mm.svg, etc.
In my case I normally get a default document with px as the unit. If I edit default.svg, or overwrite it with some other file, I can get mm as the default unit on startup. As far as I know, I think the same applies to all the settings in the document properties dialog.
