The following workaround worked; just as advertised above (Thanks!) : I ran these in konsole:
1. cd /usr/share/icons/oxygen/16x16/actions/ 2. sudo ln -s document-properties.png gtk-properties.png 3. sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/oxygen/ Now inkscape behaves as it should. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658055 Title: inkscape crashes when opening document properties -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
