tool parameter settings are shared between multiple documents

[Torsten Volland]

Inkscape-0.48.2-1-win32
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate, SP1, 64 bit

example to reproduce:
- open two documents (A and B)
- choose calligraphy tool in document A
- change width of calligraphy tool in document A
- focus document B, choose the calligraphy tool
- note that the default width is displayed
- draw something
The width used when drawing is the width set in document A.

I've observed this phenomenon for all calligraphy tool parameters as well as for the ellipse tool and the polygon tool.

For some parameters the value is updated to the used value after the drawing. In the example above the default value will be displayed still. That doesn't seem to depend on the type of control:
- Calligraphy angle control doesn't update
- Polygon number of vertices updates

Even for more than two documents the parameter value that was set last in any document will be used.

That tool parameter settings are shared between multiple documents is not a problem. Problem is that new document's starting value for input widget is constant. That bug affects not only calligraphy tool, but many other tools. So I try to change as many as I see constant values for widgets to something like this (example for calligraphy):

Inkscape::Preferences::get()->getDouble("/tools/calligraphic/width",15.)

this works only for first use of the toolbar element. Best solution for this problem is a creation of the different variables for each document.
