inkscape-devel @0.46.22157_0 +quartz crashes at startup

[Damien@…]

Defaults variants are "+ipv6 +quartz +no_x11 -x11 +nls +tls +ssl +with_default_names +ares +idn +aqua +bash_completion +adns +aspell " on iMacIntel.

In X11.app (2.4), from a terminal :

$ port installed | grep inkscape
  inkscape-devel @0.46.22157_0+no_x11 (active)

$ inkscape 

(inkscape:83509): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed

(inkscape:83509): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed
2009-10-12 13:34:27.894 inkscape[83509:903] InjectEventHandler

At this point, inkscape is ready to be used (the interface is displayed on the screen)

But when clicking anywhere in inkscape makes a window appear, saying "Inkscape a subi une erreur inter et va se fermer maintenant". And in the terminal, the following is written:

Emergency save activated!
Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org

Does this still happen with @0.48.0.9914?

Replying to jmr@…:

Does this still happen with @0.48.0.9914?

The report unfortunately doesn't include a backtrace and was filed for an older prerelease version of Inkscape 0.47 (inkscape-devel @0.46.22157), but AFAICT this crash is limited to building and running Inkscape with the Quartz backend of GTK+:

Depending on Inkscape's preference settings for saving & restoring the windows geometry, all versions of Inkscape (including current trunk) built with GTK+/Quartz (gtk2 +quartz+no_x11) crash on initial start or when a second window is opened - see upstream report ​Bug 487144 in Inkscape: “inkscape built with Gtk+/Quartz crashes when a second file is opened”.

The underlying issue possibly is related to an upstream bug in GTK+ which apparently had been fixed for the X11 backend (​Bug 336435 in Inkscape: “inkscape crashed with signal 5 in _XError()”) but not for the Quarz backend.

The version I just tested in r92806 works for me...
