Comment 8 for bug 1176112

I reviewed bug 1131428 and noticed that he is using a Lenovo. I am also using a Lenovo with battery and energy management software installed and running. Of course, it's running for both of my users, so this doesn't readily explain why one user works right and the other doesn't.

I have also reviewed the startup files for both users. They are quite similar. Big differences that jump out is that User A (bad Inkscape behavior) has

Google Chrome in the startup
also a different number of processes for Btmshellex, and the trackpad control center and the Intel Services manager than User B

User B (good Inkscape behavior) has

program (I think this is my apache server)

I have used a product called Revo Uninstaller to remove Inkscape, and then I have re-installed from the latest beta version. The problem persists. Somehow, Inkscape is not getting totally removed as the recent files list persists even when it is uninstalled using Revo and telling it to eliminate all user information.

That's what I know. If there is something else recommended to check or try, I'll give it a shot, just because it bugs me and reduces my confidence in the program when it does random behavior.

Thanks, --H
