Bug Description
Binary package hint: inkscape
I use Ubuntu 11.04 classic. Very often Inkscape freezes at opening, even if empty. We have the same problem in Ubuntu 10.04. Since I hadn't noticed it up to recently (1 month or so) it's possible that it is due to a modification in another package than Inkscape, for instance a library. But Im' not an intensive user of Inkscape.
Steps to reproduce the problem: choose in the general menu Applications → Graphics → "Inskape Vector Graphics Editor".
What happens: Inkscape is launched but, often clicking any button has no effect, resizing the window doesn't resize the inside. After a while, Inkscape's window is greyished and, if I close it, I first get a "The window 'New document 1 - Inkscape' is not responding." message. Relaunching Inkscape never solves the issue. Login out and in sometimes solves it, sometimes not.
What is expected to happen: that Inkscape respond to clicks.

Same problem here, Inkscape freezes at start on Ubuntu 11.04 Unity.
It unfreezes after some time (which can be minutes long), but shows some inconsistencies, like the disappearance of the top window menu (file, edit, etc..)
