Hi everyone!

mind if i share my experience. Even if the problem itself is hard to fix, is it possible to not open the dialogs? there's nothing the user can do about the dialog but press "OK". This is a bad user experience and these messages should go the messages panel.

steps to reproduce:

1. open inkscape.
2. write anything
3. copy that
4. open okular
5. close okular

instead of okular, gimp triggers the same behaviour, but not always. okular always triggers this.

it doesn't matter if clipman is installed or not.

not all programs trigger this. opening and closing another instance of Inkscape doesn't trigger this.

it doesn't matter if its a new document or existing.

opening program, copying an object in inkscape, and then closing the program also triggers this.

it doesn't matter if the files meantioned in the #37 are removed, or those particular lines deleted.

what it does is that inkscape opens less dialogs. only dialog 1 or 2 dialogs ( 1 and 2 )

Dialog 1:

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.

message:
No paths where found. Please convert all objects you want to save into paths.

Dialog 2

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.

message:
No layers found.
