There have been multiple reports about crashes in debian's inkscape at
various stages. I could reproduce neither of them. For the ones at
startup I got a hint at 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354698

And Oliver Grimm told me:

| 
| - install gtk2-engines-gtk-qt
| - start KControl-->appearance-->gtk styles
| - select "Lush" as gtk-style, click apply
| - inkscape FAILS to start
| 
| - now select "Redmond" or an XFCE style for gtk
| - inkscape DOES start again

I don't know if this is the same bug, but since you mentioned "some
segfault in libgc" I thought it is worth mentioning. And I didn't try to
reproduce this type of bug yet via changing gtkrc.
