Possibly triggered by a recent upgrade of xserver-related packages as described in this forum topic: <http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=106911>? Seems to affect not only Inkscape, but GIMP as well.
<off-topic> It also reminds me of a similar crash which occurred with a recent prerelease candidate of X11/XQuartz (XQuartz 2.7.2_beta4 (xorg-server 1.12.0.901)) on OS X: Bug #972914 “[OS X] Crash when clicking inside drawing area with XQuartz 2.7.2 beta4” <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/972914> which turned out to be a bug in the X server (XQuartz) and not related to Inkscape's code base. <off-topic> ** Tags added: crash ** Changed in: inkscape Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1023004 Title: xorg crashes when clicking in inkscape work area To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1023004/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
