For my client I use a special login and $HOME directory so all the t at h
stuff is kept separately. Then, after having had the inkscape issue a
couple of times I set the preferences file read only (chmod u-w
~/.inkscape/preferences.xml). And to be able to log off I let the
client run inside a screen session.

In the case of a unresponsive API (or tah server) the client should
retry in larger intervals instead of dying.
