Comment 11 for bug 518234

@Drew - thanks for testing and reporting back. If the random crashes happen with the prerelease version too, please file a new report for it and attach the file you had been working with as well as a list of the actions you last did before Inkscape crashed.

Inkscape does have an 'autosave' feature since 0.47: <http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.47#Autosave>

You can launch Inkscape from the terminal and copy the error messages you see there when Inkscape crashes. Or - if you are familiar with using gdb, you can try to get a backtrace from the crash: <http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Debugging_Inkscape#Debugging_Tips_for_Linux>
