@Jon - do you still have the issue? Please read recent Bug #433281 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/433281> if it is related to your problem.

could you test:
1) after login and X11 is automatically started - open Terminal.app and type:
echo $DISPLAY

2) quit X11 and launch Inkscape - open Terminal.app and type:
echo $DISPLAY

Compare the two: if the first one doesn't start with '/tmp/launch-' then you somewhere set $DISPLAY in your startup files which interferes with the launch-on-demand support for X11 by 'launchd'. You should not set $DISPLAY manually with Apple's X11 (since the version that originally shipped with Leopard).
