Created attachment 430456 [details, diff] fix inkscape crash. inkscape crash with broken recent entry generated with other applications, for example vmplayer. When started vmplayer from commmand line with somevm.vmx with argument it generate bad entry in recently-used.xbel with href="file://somevm.vmx". This rise an excheption in Glib::filename_form_uri(url). Every time when inkscape try open file it look throw recent files... and crash at such entry cause it does not catch exeption properly. it maybe vmplayer bug but it is not possible to patch it. P.S. it may cause crash of some other gtkmm application.
Which versions are affected? I do not fully understand the situation or how to reproduce it. Is this reported upstream already for one of the packages? If yes, please link here. The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis. We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. I have had very good experience on the gentoo IRC [1] with questions like this. Of course there are also forums and mailing lists [2,3]. I hope you understand, that I will close the bug here therefore and wish you good luck on one of the mentioned channels [4].
