Bug#819558: inkscape: hangs on startup

[Wolf-Dieter Groll]

Package: inkscape
Version: 0.48.5-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Just trying to start Inkscape from Gnomeshell or commandline

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

The window comes up, but isn't responding to any input. Even closing is not
possible. Just killing helps

When running "strace inkscape", the last line displayed is a stat to a file on
a different machine wich isn't acessible at the time. The file isn't related to
inkscape in any way, it's just a textfile which had been opened some weeks ago
across the network.
