isync: I also tried what you suggested and (from a clean start), the
copy and paste works ok.

For me, this issue appears to happen randomly after a period of time and
like everyone else, I'm extremely frustrated by this. Copy and paste is
a fundamental part of a file explorer and for it to fail so badly in the
default program and not be fixed for months is pathetic.

Rant over, I've found that if nautilus is run from a terminal, after
copy/paste fails, these errors appears in the window:

 (nautilus:18784): Gtk-WARNING **: Inserting action group
'ClipboardActions' into UI manager which already has a group with this
name

(nautilus:18784): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_clipboard: assertion
'gtk_widget_has_screen (widget)' failed

(nautilus:18784): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_clipboard_request_text: assertion
'clipboard != NULL' failed

These errors appear over and over whenever a paste operation occurs
(copy and cut don't seem to report anything). I don't know whether this
helps fix the issue, but it should at least point towards the area.
