Does it not crash on launch anymore? If so could we close bugs 1076338, 1064399 and 1059059?
I don't think this is an autopackage specific bug, though I don't really know what causes it. I think it's when a user has gcc 3.4 compiled gtkmm libraries and uses a gcc 3.3 compiled inkscape installed and vice-versa.
This may happen with the autopackages, when the user already has GTKmm installed because they are built with gcc 3.3, but it can happen in other situations as well: for instance, if the user upgrades their distribution.
I am not sure what the solution is. Clearly we could statically link GTKmm and other libraries in the autopackages, we already do so for Boehm GC in fact. But this would not stop people filing these bugs, because it's (probably) a toolchain/compiler issue not an autopackage issue. It may reduce the number of reports.
For me, if I start from a clean system (no GTKmm installed from my distro) the autopackage versions do not crash.
I will investigate statically linking all C++ libraries this afternoon, as well as updating the dependencies to take into account the new libxslt dependency.
