Howdy Folks,
I've got the latest pre release running on my computer. I've moved the configuration files (~/.inkscape and ~/.inkscape-etc) to prevent any odd config settings from causing any problems. When I started it, Inkscape said it might take a while for it to cache the fonts and what not. So I let it go and eventually a window popped open --- it took about an hour. Then I tried to use it and the interface was unresponsive. For example I resized the window, and it took about four minutes for the widgets and tools to be redrawn. I don't have any problem with the previous prereleases or version 0.46.
Has anyone else had any similar problems? Is there anything I can do to figure out what's going on here?

Did you download the prerelease 0.47pre3-2 LEOPARD+ from sourceforge.net or did you build it yourself? It sounds as if you have a build that uses a broken pango library version from MacPorts http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21679
regarding dot files: Inkscape 0.46+devel and Inkscape 0.47(pre) store the user configuration files in ~/.config/inkscape, so no interference with Inkscape 0.46 here.
0.46 and 0.47pre still share ~/.inkscape-etc and ~/.fontconfig though.
