When I am running Inkscape in GNOME on my Mac (installed through fink), I cannot open any files unless I specify files from the command line from the --file option. If I try to use the "open file" dialog, inkscape freezes, eventually a dialog box opens up saying that Inkscape encountered an error, but that is also frozen, and if I am lucky another dialog opens up giving me the option to force quit (i guess this is a GNOME dialog box). Using the "kill" command works otherwise without a problem.
1 - Start Inkscape in GNOME running on fink 2 - Click "File Open" Icon
OR
1 - Start Inkscape in GNOME running on fink 2 - Go to "File" menu, and click "Open"
The odd thing is that this only happens when I run Inkscape from GNOME (within Xnest, or when running X11 in full screen mode). If I run Inkscape with quartz-wm, no GNOME, things work fine (except, of course, that drop down menus appear behind the windows).
Has anyone encountered this before?

Bryce, could this be somehow related to the gnome-vfs stuff?

Hmm, probably not; if gnome-vfs was doing something bad, we'd see the opposite behavior - it'd work fine from the gui but crap out on the cmdline.
The user could try building using the --without-gnome-vfs option to see if that changes the behavior.
Also, the gnome-vfs code is *only* present in the load-svg codepath, so Marcus could experiment with loading files other than .svg's and see if the same behavior occurs, in which case it won't be gnome-vfs.
Also also, since gnome-vfs is only in CVS, it could be worth seeing if the behavior is present in the 0.41 release, since that was before gnome-vfs was added.

The problem is not SVG specific. I am able to open SVG files without a problem as along as I ise the --file command like option to select them. When I try to use the File->Open menu entry or the file open icon Inkscape freezes before the file dialog opens at all, unless I launch Inkscape while using quartz-wm and with full-screen mode disabled on Apple's X11. If I launch Inkscape from GNOME through Xnest or in full-screen mode, I get this freezing problem. This is NOT a GNOME problem since other applications give me the open file dialog box etc.
I wish i could help you guys out trying to compile things with other command like options, but I was happy enough to get GNOME/Inkscape to compile at all under Fink, I would not even know where to begin if I were to try to compile Inkscape again with different command line options (Fink took care of all that for me).
