Possibly same/similar issue as in these reports?
Bug #598653 “Inkscape aborts”
Bug #587297 “inkscape crashes, often locking up the entire desktop”

[Andreu Correa Casablanca (castarco)]

Yes, probably it's related, but there are more problems!!

I think that this problem affects other programs too. (Such as gimp 2.7 , a few days ago The Gimp worked perfectly, but the same day i have problems with inkscape, The gimp crashes when i want to use the selection tool)

[su_v (suv-lp)]

Other reports I found with similar backtraces indicate a problem outside of Inkscape, maybe with some (global) menu applet (or even with GTK+ ?):

[Andreu Correa Casablanca (castarco)]

Yes, i can confirm this another time! :s , it's a casuality, but the same day i had problems with dia too! :( , i couldn't start it .

And now.. ¿what? ¿Where we should go to make the patch?

[su_v (suv-lp)]

@Alex Valavanis - you know better how to handle (downstream?) bugs with Ubuntu packages, can you take a look and add this report to the affected package or distribution? It does not seem to be an issue with Inkscape itself.

[Andreu Correa Casablanca (castarco)]

To all:

i 've been experimenting and i found the "cause" of the problem (in my laptop)

the packages of the repo ( http://ppa.launchpad.net/canonical-dx-team/une/ubuntu lucid main ) were the packages that caused the problem. I removed this repo of my list of repos and uninstalled the packages from this repo, later i made a safe-upgrade with aptitude and that solves the problem.

[su_v (suv-lp)]

Thank you for reporting back about your findings what caused Inkscape (and other apps) to crash. I'm closing this report as 'Invalid' for Inkscape - please feel free to reopen if the problem reoccurs and you think it needs to be addressed in Inkscape's code.

[su_v (suv-lp)]

@Andreu - you report possibly also is a duplicate of bug #598715 in DBus Menu: “WoW Model Viewer crashes on start (wxGTK application)”, which has been marked as 'Fix Released' on 2010-07-08. Maybe you want to try again using the 'Application Menu' for the Ubuntu Netbook Edition (UNE) with updated packages (dbusmenu)?

[Andreu Correa Casablanca (castarco)]

Ok, I'll try and write here if the problem is solved.

[Andreu Correa Casablanca (castarco)]

The problem is solved :D
