program crash when open

[Guillaume]

Inkscape crashes upon clicking "open...", keying ctrl+O or launching it from shell with "inkscape anyfile.svg".
I'm using Mint17 with "Inkscape 0.48.4 r9939 (Jan 22 2014)" which comes as default in mint17 repos.

Based on the description and the backtrace, this looks very similar to the issue reported as
