This is a replication of a bug at launchpad, which currently affects 20
users[1].

I am opening here in hope for possible feedback from devs. Please note
that the bug potentially was fixed in the development versions (see
below).

Short summary:
In inkscape, simply clicking on the workspace will crash Xorg, and throw the 
user back to login screen. For a detailed error message, please refer to the 
launchpad bug.
This bug seems to be related to disabled touchpads - all affected users used 
laptops. Enabling the previously disabled touchpad will prevent the crash. For 
some users, disabling the touchpad via software would not cause the crash, 
while for others there was no difference. Due to this correlation with input 
hardware, a bug in inkscape itself seems unlikely.

The bug disappeared with switching to the xorg-edgers ppa in Ubuntu, but it is 
unclear exactly why. 
The bug was still present in the following xorg-edgers package og 
xserver-xorg-core:
2:1.13.0+git20120920.70e57668-0ubuntu0ricotz
and disappeared in 
2:1.13.0.901+git20121123+server-1.13-branch.c0e68f8e-0ubuntu0ricotz~quantal


As very similar issues were reported before in launchpad[2] and declared fixed, 
there might be an underlying root cause which is still open.

Please, if you already know that the bug was present in 1.13.0 and not
anymore in 1.13.0.901, check the git log between those versions. It
would have likely taken you less time than filing a new bug.
