How annoying!  Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit with Gnome environment, running
Inkscape 0.48.4 from the official Ubuntu repository together with
Netbeans 8.0.2 is  a total bummer.

It even spoiled the system so much, then a following apt-get update took
ages to read packages, because the system OS cache was totally full. Had
to echo 3 into /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches to get to back to normality.

To reproduce:
- run Inkscape
- run Netbeans
- draw a text in Inkscape, press CTRL-C
- switch to Netbeans app

result:

at least 10 dialog boxes pop up, and until the clipboard is cleared more and more are coming.
Two types, one titled "Postscript" with various postscript settings, the other one without a title with 

1. a label saying:

Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed.  The
script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will
not be as expected.

2. and a read-only edit box saying:

UniConvertor failed:

Cannot list directory /home/username/.uniconvertor:[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/username/.uniconvertor'
ignoring it in font_path
Cannot list directory /home/username/.uniconvertor:[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/username/.uniconvertor'
ignoring it in font_path
I can't find font Sans. I'll use Slim instead

Confirming workaround: put something else to clipboard before switching
to Netbeans.

Urgent action is needed NOW so that no more than 1 dialog box will
appear with an option to tick

[  ] do not show more dialogs like this.

It's been for too long like this.

Title:
  Incorrect call to output plugins (with persistent error message) on
  copy

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
  Triaged
Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in inkscape package in Debian:
  Confirmed
Status in Gentoo Linux:
  Unknown

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)

  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.
