Hi altogether, here are some things sent to me privately by Oliver Grimm and stuff I found debugging this problem:

Additionally, while testing different gtk-themes under KDE I noticed crashes in other applications, too (e.g. galeon). Additionally, the gtk-config files written by the gtk2-engines-gtk-qt package affect sessions like gnome and xfce causing inkscape to crash using these other desktop environments too. What is worse is that if you install gtk2-engines-gtk-qt, change your theme to Nuvola, forget about it and remove gtk2-engines-gtk-qt inkscape will crash anyways, as will galeon. galeon doesn't crash during startup though, but at a later stage. So I don't really know where the bug lies: 1. Is it gtk2-engines-gtk-qt which writes config files causing random applications to crash 2. or is it a bug somewhere in gtk2 which fails to cope with certain combinations of configuration options causing applications to randomly crash 3. or is it a problem of the applications using gtk theming in an inappropriate way? I think that much more debugging is needed to find the cause of this problem, but I don't think I've time and knowledge to track it all down. I think however it is not all gtk2-engines-gtk-qt's fault since also a user can generate these combinations of config options and I'd guess they are not marked as wrong in any gtk theming documentation. Thanks for your help and please contribute if you find something new, Wolfi Here is a (not really enlightening) backtrace of inkscape with the Nuvola theme under KDE: GNU gdb 6.4-debian Copyright 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
