Ok, I just updated my CVS tree and reinstalled and found the following after running inkscape from gdb.

So, it looks as though the problem is in the metal style?

Hello everybody...
I am having a problem with Inkscape right now. When I try to start it it crashes with the following output.
#-----------------------------Begin clip prophecy@...729... ~ $ inkscape
Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it. Segmentation fault prophecy@...729... ~ $ #-----------------------------End clip
The version of Inkscape that I am running is "Inkscape 0.41+cvs (May 25 2005)". It was running fine before and now I think that it is just getting itself into a state that it can not handle from a previous state. I can run it as root and it runs fine. I removed all of my .gnome .gnome2 .gnome_private .gnome2_private and .inkscape directories along with all of my /tmp/*prophecy* directories. The problem still persists. I have included the strace output of the application, it is not too long. Looks as though it got aggravated when dealing with the templates directory. But I am not sure why I would not be able to interact with that and root could. So, can anybody help me out with this. Much appreciation would be granted.
