Comment 2 for bug 9729

Nope. Moving preferences.xml doesn't change anything - same crash, same
situation. There was another file in ~/.inkscape which looked like a temp file.
I tried with and without that file as well with no change.

It probably doesn't make any difference since the crash exists with or without
the preference file, but the Inkscape version number in preferences.xml is
different than the installed version of the app:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<inkscape
   version="0.38.1"
   xmlns:inkscape="http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape"
   xmlns:sodipodi="http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd">

If it would help anything, I can attach the whole file here.
