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

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.

  The routine ClipboardManagerImpl::_onGet is called repeatedly by an
  external program, with different possible clipboard formats, causing
  Inkscape to try and export the copied data every few seconds, in
  multiple formats.

  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)

  Workaround - disable offending output/export plugins (comment #87)
  -----

  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.
