Description:

When trying to open Inkscape, it crashes and goes to a small window where it asks to wait or force quit. Eventually it will open, but the window keeps appearing and the program is unworkable.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
Current version is 1.0.2-3
* config and/or log files etc.
While opening it says "Inkscape not responding. wait or Force quit".
If waiting, I get the following output in the terminal:
** (org.inkscape.Inkscape:5646): WARNING **: 15:50:07.735: Fonts dir '/home/juanma/.config/inkscape/fonts' does not exist and will be ignored.

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Old and stale. Recent versions work fine. If still happening, please report upstream because this is not an Arch packaging issue.

Does this still happen in the latest version of Inkscape (inkscape 1.1-3)? This sounds like an upstream issue, could you open a new issue in inkscape.org/report ?

Note, they'll likely ask for more information there, I don't think there is enough information here to determine what the issue is

Some relevant info that'd be good to add to upstream report:

1. preferences file (~/.config/inkscape/preferences.xml)
2. Dialogs config (for 1.1) (~/.config/inkscape/dialogs-state.ini)
3. Desktop or window manager (gnome?), and X11 or Wayland
4. File that is opened up when starting inkscape (if you haven't modified it, please state that the default template is used)
