The key 'taskset' stores the value for the toolbar layout (the 3 options at the bottom of the 'View' menu - taskset 0 is 'default', taskset 1 is 'custom', taskset 2 is 'wide'): the initial value (first install, or after deleting the preferences file) depends on the proportions of the current monitor:

The default skeleton of the preferences file [1] does not assign an initial value to the taskset: if not present in the preferences file, the value gets based on the screen dimensions of the current monitor at launch time, as mentioned in the release notes.
By itself, this setting is unlikely to cause the reported issue (as has been singled out in the bug summary line).

Since you also confirmed that the the underlying trigger seems to be in the user configuration of the system and not of Inkscape itself: did you test for any potential conflicts with other apps installed or running (e.g. via autostart for the current user) as has been suggested earlier in the comments of bug #1131428?
