I would like to confirm this bug.  It has been bothering me for a long
time (many versions).  I am running XFCE4.12 at the moment, but no
clipboard manager software.  Not even xfce4-settings-helper is running
(it doesn't seem to be installed on my system).

I trigger the bug semi-randomly when closing PDFs.  I've used evince,
atril, and okular, and they all do it.  I get a bunch of popups about
invalid data from scripts and suggestions to install uniconvertor.

Today my inkscape config got ruined somehow, so that graphic objects
would sometimes jump, copy/paste would paste the right number of things
but they'd be displaced, and objects would move between saving/closing a
file and reopening it.  Unfortunately for you guys I deleted the config
to see if it would make things better, so there's nothing for you to
look at there :-(.

This has been around for ages.  Is the patch in #37 appropriate?  If
not, what's wrong with it?  I do a bit of python, so if the problem lies
there I'd be glad to work on it and get this thing fixed.

Bug description:
  UPDATE: After further investigation it turned out to be a problem related to 
the copy operation, in combination with a totally unrelated running Java 
program (FreeRapid).
  Reading some followups and other bug reports, it seems to be caused by the 
new clipboard management system (introduced as a fix for the bug #170185), as 
reported in bug #421597

  So far these applications are known to randomly trigger an input/output 
extension (on linux):
  - FreeRapid Downloader
  - jDownloader
  - xfce4-clipman-plugin 1.1.3
  - Netbeans
  - xfce4-settings-helper (Xfce 4.8)
  - Team Viewer (teamviewerd 10.0.36)

  The original report was this:
  I'm getting this error when I try to edit a text object created previously 
with a font that's not available in this system.
  It looks like Inkscape has problems to resolve the font substitution and 
displays the error message in a popup window that keeps appearing again and 
again, leaving no other remedy than closing inkscape and reopening it.

  The error message is attached.
