Comment 41 for bug 792115

> I'm guessing everything was OK with r10788 then?

AFAICT yes - no issues with docked dialogs in either of the mentioned builds (revisions of latest archived builds varies depending on arch and build settings: 10783, 10785, 10788).

Possibly related: bug #907157 (similar opposite occurrence of an issue (Ubuntu vs OS X))
Maybe related: bug #885224 (the described problem there is how my latest 32bit debug build (r10794) behaves (but not the older ones - last tested was r10783), although there is not HD activity but a spike in CPU usage when trying to open a dockable dialog, and using different gtk themes (set in ~/.gtkrc-2.0) has no effect (no KDE/Qt desktop here, nor Gnome or Unity)).

> any chance you could test a couple of my recent commits

I'll to revert and test each commit (10789-10794) separately (with 32bit debug and 64bit optimized build).
(btw & off-topic: 'make clean' works for me without deleting 'po/inkscape.pot' if building outside the source tree, as described e.g. in <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.devel/37448>)
