Sometimes Inkscape crashes while performing an operation that grabs the X pointer. It displays the crash handler window but the Ok button can't be clicked.
Hmm, this sounds pretty serious, but I wonder if it is not an Inkscape problem but an X issue? You could try adding XUngrabPointer in the crash handler code, but my guess is there's a deeper problem at work.
By chance are you running a binary video driver? Often these will lead to inexplicable lockups like this, and sadly there's not much that can be done at the application level to solve that.
Yes, this is the nvidia driver.
It doesn't freeze the display entirely; it still seems to provide mouse movement events to other windows. I just can't click on anything, not even the "Ok" button.
Would that all consistent with a video driver issue?
