Comment 72 for bug 418242

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.
