I'm running Lubuntu 14.04.1 with either inkscape 0.48.4-3ubuntu2 or inkscape-trunk 1:0.48+devel+13778+48~ubuntu14.04.1 and I had freezes (not crashes) with input on some files (namely http://spreadubuntu.org/en/material/unusual/lubuntu-visit-card SVGs) whereas with others I had no problem. In all cases, there was no remarkable output from `strace` except that it continued to recognize mouse input. I had to forcibly `kill` in order to get it to close.

GTK_IM_MODULE was set to 'xim'. Setting it to 'ibus' (which is installed, 1.5.5-1ubuntu3) or unsetting it solved the problem.

I have to wonder if the OP didn't have a different concern than what we're talking about, though. They describe a crash, where I and others refer to a freeze.
