A) console error messages:
1) open 'Applications > Utilities > Console', select 'All Messages' from the log list, clear the display
2) Restart Inkscape and reproduce the crash
3) Copy all console messages that are displayed in the 'Console' window, paste them into a new TextEdit document (in 'Plain Text' format) and save it
B) CrashReporter log file
4) in 'Console' display the log list again and go to
'Logfiles > ~/Library/Logs > CrashReporter'
5) look for the related (latest) crash report for 'inkscape-bin', ctrl-click it and use 'Reveal in Finder' to locate it. The crash report contains a backtrace (I never got a better one when I ran gdb on OSX manually while reproducing a crash).
Attach both the crash reporter file and the saved console messages to your next comment here (please attach, don't paste ;-)
