Bug Description

clicking on the workarea in any inkscape document crashes xorg and brings me to the login screen.
this happens in all window managers (gnome and unity 2D&3D).
i am using the internal intel graphic card on a lenovo T520 with a i7-2670QM.
this behaviour is always reproducable.

gnome-session[2311]: Gdk-WARNING: gnome-session: Fatal IO error 11 (Die Ressource ist zur Zeit nicht verfügbar) on X server :0.#012

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.

   - xserver-xorg-video-intel: Installed: 2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4

Please tell me on any info I can provide to fix this.

I experience the same bug. I run a brand new laptop here (Lenovo X1 carbon), with fresh & updated Ubuntu. Only happens with inkscape, gimp runs fine (there were similar issues in gimp earlier I read).

Inkscape version: Inkscape 0.48.3.1 r9886

- xserver-xorg-core: Installed: 2:1.13.0-0ubuntu6

This completely breaks inkscape, of course.

The same issue had been reported for Arch Linux a month ago, but apparently it went away after another system update (probably of xorg-*):
- Bug #1072389 “Inkscape Segfaults X”?

Moreover, it seems not to be nvidia driver specific, but appears with nouveau drivers as well.

Last week (28th November) I was using inkscape without problems. I tried to downgrade all ubuntu packages that were upgraded last week, but without success. Now it does not work at all. My workaround is to use inkscape through VNC.
