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

[Jean-Francois Gobin]

Good evening,

Trying to start inkscape at the command-line also crashes. XQuartz starts, there are several GTK-WARNING at the console about missing actions, then  an errorbox that states that « Inkscape has encountered an internal error and will close ». Clicking on close displays « Segmentation error: 11 » at the console.

The crash log contains the following chosen tidbits.
