Inkscape @0.92.0_3+x11 does not work under macOS Sierra 10.12.3!

[Murray Eisenberg]

I did install port inkscape-app and I get the same behavior — the incessant appearance and disappearance of the XQuartz icon in the Dock, and NO Inscape window or items in the menu bar — as when I tried running inkscape from command line.

I do see an Inkscape icon in the Dock, but it does not have the tell-tale dot under it to indicate the app is open.

[I’m beginning to suspect an XQuartz problem, as I’m getting the same issue with the XQuartz icon when I try to run rCmdr from within RStudio after giving the RStudio command quartz(). so I completely uninstalled XQuartz and reinstalled. No change!]

Not sure what the “usual place” means for crash logs.
