Bug Description
Every time I attempt to do anything meaningful in Inkscape (e.g. selecting a point in an existing drawing), I get a segfault from X.
I'm not certain that this is specifically a bug in Inkscape, but as this is the only application that causes this I figured this would be a good place to start. I'm using Arch Linux, latest kernel, with the Awesome window manager (another likely culprit).
I've attached the section of Xorg.0.log associated with starting inkscape and crashing, and some versions of software on my computer are below. I've used the Arch packaged version of inkscape, and I complied the latest bzr build to see if that fixed the issue (it did not).
