Still an issue on Ubuntu 14.10, workaround

'unset GTK_IM_MODULE && inkscape'

works well, but is an inconvenience.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: inkscape

  Every time I start inkscape (0.47~pre1-0ubuntu1 on karmic amd64),
  click on the text tool, and click anywhere in the blank document,
  inkscape crashes with this dialog:

  Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now.

  and the following message on the terminal:

  **
  Gdk:ERROR:/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.17.6/gdk/x11/gdkinput-xfree.c:334:_gdk_input_grab_pointer: assertion failed: (input_window != NULL)

  Emergency save activated!
  Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
  If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org
  with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it.

  This happens for me with GTK_IM_MODULE=xim, and for others with other
  input methods.  Unsetting GTK_IM_MODULE is a workaround (but makes
  input less functional).
