Package: inkscape Version: 0.46-9 Severity: important After upgrading Inkscape from 0.46-6 to 0.46-8, it started crashing with the following error on some files.
The program 'inkscape' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 15628 error_code 3 request_code 3 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) I determined that this only happens when Inkscape opens a file containing the "inkscape:window-width" and/or "inkscape:window-height" attributes. Of course, Inkscape seems to include these in every file it saves, so this is true of every file I have. Inkscape does not crash if I remove these attributes from the file. Also, it crashes immediately if I run "inkscape somefile.svg" (where somefile.svg includes the window width/height attributes). But if I just run "inkscape", then do File->Open->somefile.svg, it does not crash. If I then do File->Open->somefile.svg a second time, it does crash. Inkscape continued to crash after I downgraded to 0.46-6, with the same behavior. Apparently, there is an interaction with libgtk2.0-0, which was upgraded to version 2.16.1-2 when I upgraded inkscape. When I downgraded gtk to 2.14.7-5, the problem disappeared (using inkscape 0.46-6). So perhaps in the end this is a gtk problem, but I can't tell without examining the Inkscape source. I was hoping you could try to find the problem. In the mean time, I'll stick with an old Inkscape and gtk.
