Bug Description

I use "focus follow mouse" in my window manager. I inserted a quite big PNG file in Inkscape, and I "edited externally" with Gimp. When Gimp was saving the PNG file, I accidentally move the mouse over Inkscape, giving it focus, and then it crashes.

I think this is something a little unusual, but Inkscape should manage it more graceful.

OS: Ubuntu 10.04 x64
Inkscape version: Inkscape 0.47 r22583, built Apr 4 2010 (0.47.0-2ubuntu2)

Output:

---
drmad@dorothy:~$ inkscape

libpng error: IDAT: CRC error

Emergency save activated!
Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
