I downloaded the latest and greatest and am having a problem.
I press shift-ctrl-d and it exits.
I also try document properties and I get an immediate exit.
I created 3 new windows, different types, and try document properties.
All of them go away -- no crash message -- something like an immediate exit.

I'm on Win7-64bit, but its only a 32bit client.
Am I alone in this? Some sort of corruption somehow?
See Bug #455894 “Opening document properties closes Inkscape”: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/455894
workarounds:
a) reset your preferences: Quit Inkscape, rename the file 'preferences.xml' [1] to 'preferences-crash.xml' and restart Inkscape (you will loose all Inkscape settings you made earlier) b) change only the display profile settings: 1. Open Inkscape preferences 2. In the color management section, un-check 'Retrieve profile from display' 3. Restart Inkscape
[1] location of the preferences file: I only know the locations on XP and Vista, but I assume Win7 will be similar to Vista (any windows user here to clarify?)
Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings[USERNAME]\Application Data\Inkscape\preferences.xml Windows Vista - C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Inkscape\preferences.xml
