Running inkscape 0.91 in Xfce4 and Netbeans.

I wouldn't suggest to just run the script from the comment #37. What
that script does is to comment some "fixed" range of lines in 3 scripts:
gimp_xcf.py, jessyInk_export.py and uniconv_output.py (located at:
/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/). However it seems those files may be
different depending on your version (as in mine, those lines didn't
match correctly and produces broken code). I strongly suggest to backup
your files if you want to give that script a try.

If you want to do the dirty job by yourself, this is what I did:
Comment (using "#" at the beginning of the line) this line at "uniconv_output.py": 

    # sys.stderr.write(msg + "\n")

Comment these 2 lines at "jessyInk_export.py":

# if len(exportNodes) < 1:   
     # sys.stderr.write("No layers found.")

Comment this line at "gimp_xcf.py":

    # inkex.errormsg(_('This extension requires at least one non empty
layer.'))

Give it a try. In my case that wasn't enough (as I have additional
plugins), but if you see an error message, copy that message and do a "
grep '<that error message>' * "  in the /usr/share/inkscape/extensions/
directory. As before, comment any "inkex.errormsg" that may come up. For
example, I had to comment a line in "plotter.py" and "hpgl_output.py"
scripts (same line):

# inkex.errormsg(_("No paths where found. Please convert all objects you
want to plot into paths."))

I hope that helps. I wish there were a "Disable warnings" somewhere in
the options so we didn't have to do this kind of hacks.

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

Status in Inkscape:
  Triaged
Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:

Status in inkscape package in Arch Linux:

Status in inkscape package in Debian:

Status in Gentoo Linux:

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.
