Bug Description
Inkscape has just informed me that preferences.xml are invalid and that defaults will be used instead. Examining output from terminal clearly showed that problem is non-readable USB stick device name on Linux (it was formated and named strangely by someone on Win).
Entity: line 661: parser error : invalid character in attribute value
problem was character between strings "/media/" and "/firma/". Although I could open/save files from device, on next Inkscape startup problem poped up. Although problem exists, it's unfair to strike user with error message when it's not his fault.
