Inkscape fails to print with an internal failure

[Matthias Bläsing]

Binary package hint: inkscape

I open inkscape with an SVG. After opening the print dialog and pressing the OK button Inkscape reports an internal failure and exits. The printing never does happen.

I think what would expect is clear: No failure and a printed document.

This is what gets being put on stdout/stderr:

======

mblaesing@prometheus:~$ inkscape

(inkscape:3389): gtkmm-WARNING **: gtkmm: Attempt to call Gtk::manage() on a Gtk::Window, but a Gtk::Window has no parent container to manage its lifetime.

inkscape: /build/buildd/cairo-1.9.9~git20100620.b8051ee9/src/cairo-surface.c:337: _cairo_surface_begin_modification: Assertion `! surface->finished' failed.

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

I worked around it by exporting to PDF and printing via evince, but this is not what I want to do.
