I have this same issue and am using Lubuntu 14.04.1 and Inkscape .48 I tried changing In Lubuntu disable ibus under: Preferences -> Language Support -> Input Method ... -> none. This helps when I open a new Inkscape file and try to type, but if I try and type on a file that has an embedded jpeg it still freezes after typing a few words. All other work with the file is fine, drawing lines, adding shapes etc, but as soon as I start typing after about 8 characrters it freezes and I have to restart.
