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

Thanks for the pointer. I used an alternate workaround that I thought might work -- Enter inkscape, uncheck "retrieve profile from display". I then selected '<none>', instead. Then quit inkscape from the menu and re-entered. My preference file was 'fixed with no loss of settings... I didn't want to bother finding the pref file...:-) (lazy and experimentative).
(sorry about lack of subject -- I thought I typed one in...but am new to Win7, and it seems to have a few problems...with things failing and going missing randomly...) (jumped from XP for the increase in memory in x64...)
Speaking of which...um x64... Going to be an inkscape version? Would be a nice 20-30% speed boost, likely given all the math it does...not to mention having extra memory to play in...
