(Get the code!)
* Make sure to have rebooted (or logged out and back in) after installing XQuartz (this is a required step, otherwise the installation of XQuartz is not fully completed, and the X server will fail to auto-launch on demand).
* The Inkscape application is not signed - the user thus needs to temporarily disable Gatekeeper (also described in the Inkscape FAQ). Due to what appears to be a bug in the latest security updates for OS X, Inkscape may fail to launch when bypassing Gatekeeper per application (without disabling it globally during the period of Inkscape's installation and initial launch).
As a workaround, you can try the following steps:
1. From System Preferences, open "Security & Privacy".
2. At the bottom of the General pane, change "Allow apps downloaded from:" to "Anywhere".
3. Start Inkscape.
4. After Inkscape has launched, go back to "Security & Privacy" and revert the setting to "Mac App Store and identified developers".
The failure to temporarily override Gatekeeper settings on a per-app basis seems - based on what feedback we received so far - to be a recently problem introduced by changes in the OS provided by Apple, and is tracked for Inkscape in earlier report:
* Bug #1478053 “New OS X Yosemite 10.10.4 installation: Inkscape 0.91 never launches”

Lining as duplicate to bug #1478053 - feel free to add a comment here (bug #1480707) and to revert the duplicate status if you think this was done in error, and that the reports are about unrelated issues which need to be tracked independently in separate reports.
