Yes, it seems to have been similar. Made a little script that reinstalled each dependency, then tried to launch inkscape. After a while of running in the background, inkscape popped up, and the output was: Setting up libgtkmm-2.4-1 (2.4.11-1) ... libgtkmm-2.4-1 fixed it :) I'm still not sure what the problem was, but I guess it's been fixed now, whatever it was :) Thanks Michel, Wolfram, and Guido :) -- Lee.
