to reproduce with Inkscape 0.47 on OS X 10.5.8 Leopard, X11/Xquartz 2.4.0: open terminal, unset $DISPLAY and launch Inkscape from the command line:

| LeWitt:~ suv$ unset DISPLAY; /Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/MacOS/Inkscape
| Setting Language: .UTF-8
|
| (process:46762): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
| Using the fallback 'C' locale.
| Nothing to do!
| LeWitt:~ suv$

When $DISPLAY is unset Inkscape launches in text mode (without gui) and expects command line parameters like filename and e.g. export options. Without any parameters there's 'Nothing to do!'.

You need to figure out why your $DISPLAY variable is not set.
