> shows only a small hook in palette dock (first screenshot)
The initial size (screenshot 1) seems related to the custom scroll bar overlay in recent Ubuntu distributions (see also bug #884368 and bug #902054). Not reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.2 and 0.48+devel r10795 on Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard and OS X 10.7.2 Lion.
> Actual : a big red X with no palette.
In screenshot 2, it looks as if you have selected the 'Auto' palette in the 'Swatches…' dialog - as long as you don't have defined custom swatches in the current document, the 'Auto' palette only shows the default swatch to remove a fill (or stroke) color. This is not a bug, but expected behavior [1]. Please click on the small triangle in the upper right corner of the 'Swatches…' dialog and select one of the predefined palettes (e.g. 'Inkscape default'). Do you still see no other colors?
