Bug Description

Currently, if you start up Inkscape, draw something, and
fire up an export dialogue without saving the drawing
first, you get a blank "export to" path.

I think it should be set to $HOME/drawing.png or
$LASTWORKDIR/drawing.png in the same fashion the
saving path turns to drawing.svg.

This was fixed for 0.39 (should be fixed in CVS too! :)

Actually no, it's not fixed. It provides default for
selection export, but not for drawing or page.

Reproduced again on Windows XP (32bit) with Inkscape trunk rev. 14355.
The Filename field in the Export PNG Image dialog is blank if called with no object selected.
When an object is selected, the filename is automatically set to %USERPROFILE%\<objectID>.png (e.g. on XP, C:\Documents and Settings\testuser\rect3380.png).

The attached patch creates a default /home/user/bitmap.png filename (or a Windows equivalent) when the export dialog is called before the document is saved.
Please test.
