Description Garrett Mitchener 2023-07-26 16:10:20 UTC 
Inkscape can be run as a command-line app to export files to various formats.
When doing so, it frequently crashes, but not always.
The problem seems to be due to a change in how glib2 manages memory starting with version 2.76.0, which sometimes triggers an error in Gtk 3 applications while communicating with DBus.
It seems to be a race condition:
Removing  ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel can prevent this crash.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
