Inkscape hangs on startup for me too. strace shows it waiting on the futex line as for Tom Epperly:
futex(0x8663de0, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL I rebuilt the package with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip to get the following backtrace: #0 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xa705556e in __lll_mutex_lock_wait () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 #2 0xa70520c0 in _L_mutex_lock_29 () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 #3 0xafaf0748 in ??
