I seem to remember I also had this problem... I think I "solved" it by installing gnome-icon-theme. From my vague recollection, the "image-missing" icon is not being shipped with the standard Ubuntu theme. If that's the case, I'm not sure this is strictly an Inkscape issue... more an Ubuntu theming problem.
We can "fix" it by adding a dependency on gnome-icon-theme for the Ubuntu package. @Mattia - Worth doing this in the Debian package or just keep this as a downstream fix? ** Changed in: inkscape Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: inkscape (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1815694 Title: GLib-CRITICAL and does not start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1815694/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
