Interesting.  I am sat in front of a similarly aflicted 
machine.  So I installed the above one by one.  Inkscape 
didn't work until I had gnome-vfs2-unified installed, which 
by dependencies means all the others as well.  I then 
removed gnome-vfs2-unified again, and inkscape still works. 
So there is something one-off that happens when 
gnome-vfs2-unified installed that seems to be behind the 
issue...
