Bug Description

Inkscape 0.91-4.fc22
Fedora 22
Cinnamon Desktop 2.6.13-10.fc22
Kernel 4.1.7-200.fc22.x86_64

When selecting "Export PNG image...", no subsequent dialog is displayed which would allow one to actually complete the export operation. The application continues to run normally, but the PNG export simply doesn't do anything.

Please attach Inkscape's preferences file to the bug report to allow further investigation - the location on Linux is:
~/.config/inkscape/preferences.xml

Likely you unintentionally minimized the dialog into the dock of the main Inkscape window (by clicking on the small triangle in the dialog's own title bar). You should be able to find it minimized into a button on a vertical toolbar between the dock and the snap controls bar on the right side of the Inkscape main window; clicking on it will reopen the dialog again (menu command and the button on the commands bar won't).

Please report back whether this was the case.

Related known regression:
* Bug #1270295 “minimized docked dialogs don't open from the menu, toolbar button or shortcut”

(Bug #1270295 is a regression in 0.91; the menu item, toolbar button and keyboard shortcuts used to 'de-minimize' such dialogs in older versions of Inkscape as expected)
