On my machine (Phenom X4, openSuSe 11.3) Inkscape 0.48.1 takes 55 seconds to start. In the meantime, there's one thread at 100% processor load, and shortly before it finishes, I get this line in the console:
(inkscape:18386): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_misc_set_alignment: assertion `GTK_IS_MISC (misc)' failed over and over again, for several screen pages. ... after that all works fine. This might be an unrelated problem, but it has been bugging me for a while, and it was not there when I started using inkscape. I only installed five or so fonts in addition to the ones that came with the system, but I just looked it up and it seems I have ... 1971 different fonts installed (I think that's counting italic and bold as separate fonts, though)! If systems come with such an amount of fonts, maybe there's a way to change Inkscape's way of dealing with them? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488247 Title: Inkscape is slow starting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/488247/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
