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... cheers, -- Viv ________________________________________________ Dr Viv Kendon http://quantum.leeds.ac.uk/~viv tel: +44 113 343 4864 Physics and Astronomy Quantum Information Group University of Leeds ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
