Comment 2 for bug 1152629

Latest update on problem: Killing Overlay scroll bar causes the problem.

If you place this command in your .xprofile file of your home folder:

export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 .... to kill overlay scroll bars, and thus have the tradition scroll bars come back,

you will have this Inkscape problem with the tool bars, that is, you get logged out.

Omitting this command, and thus sustaining with overlay scroll bars, allows everything to work fine in Inkscape.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: OVERLAY SCROLL BARS, are a very bad idea for a desktop environment, they are unproductive, and get in the way of working efficiently. That is, try right resizing a window with them, while using a mouse, you can not grab the right edge of the window to resize, for they get in the way.
