Hm, can you send me the full output of "strace inkscape" and "ltrace inkscape"? Perhaps also the core file, but for that it is better to compile inkscape wit debugging symbols. Do you want to do this yourself or should I provide a suitable package? Is your system plain unstable or do you have some libs from experimental installed? I got it right that you start inkscape without any parameters? Which window manager do you use and which terminal emulator? I have no real idea right know, especially since inkscape quits without saying anything. Normally it catches sigsegv, does an emergency save and asks you to inform the developers. Thanks for your efforts, Wolfi
