Most of the comments (#8, #10, #11, #13, #15, #16) in

likely refer to the issue tracked here (bug #1323061).

The problem tracked here (bug #1323061) seems to affect inkscape on recent Ubuntu flavours installations mostly (e.g. Kubuntu, Lubuntu).

Whether or not the originally reported issue of bug #1257413 (crash with "The program 'inkscape' received an X Window System error.") has the same underlying issue (very likely a conflict with GTK+ input modules) is not known to me.

GIMP seems to be affected by conflicts with GTK+ input modules too (e.g. XIM under KDE). Among the more recent reports are:
- [741118] im-xim.so module causes GIMP to crash

- [719818] Gimp Crashes when working with text
