Inkscape doesn't open on ubuntu 12.04

Question

It starts and appears on system monitor, but it doesn't open any window...

Any solution?

I'm using: Inkscape 0.48.3.1 r9886 (Mar 29 2012) Ubuntu 12.04 32bits - using gnome-shell

Answer 1

There should be a hidden directory in your home folder ~/.config/inkscape, try moving that inkscape directory elsewhere and then try restarting Inkscape. If that does not work you can bring back that inscape directory under .config again.

Thanx Samik! However, your suggestion didn't work... But I've realised what happened. A iconpack I've installed (MeliaSVG) uses another icon for inkscape. So I've substituted this icon by the real inkscape icon in the iconpack. Then a conflict took place... Now, I've just undo that and inkscape return to work.
