Inkscape still corrupts the file from time time - probably related to WACOM because it has a bug in very long lines like that:

 <group
     id="devices">

    <group
       keys="&lt;Primary&gt;&lt;Shift&gt;&lt;Alt&gt;&lt;Mod2&gt;&lt;Mod3&gt;&lt;Mod4&gt;&lt;Mod5&gt;;&lt;Primary&gt;&lt;Shift&gt;&lt;Alt&gt;&lt;Mod2&gt;&lt;Mod3&gt;&lt;Mod4&gt;&lt;Mod5&gt;;&lt;Primary&gt;&lt;Sh

...

Also it sometimes puts </group> or </inkscape></group> at the end of the file.
Resetting preferences is not a solution - because we put time into making our own preferences. Right now I fix the XML by editing it and deleting the line that is corrupt.
