Bug #347987 in Inkscape: “Strange random error message”
Bug #418242 in Inkscape: “uniconvertor error message about font substitution problems”

I just found out that these errors appeared when I had a java program running (Free Rapid) . It took me some time to know it because I never thought that a so unrelated program could be triggering the error.
Anyway, the error is in inkscape, so there's something going on with the copy procedure, that in some way interferes with or is interfered by that Java program.
When I kill Java, inkscape goes back to the normal behavior, without errors during copying and paste.
My first guess was the clipboard monitoring function of that Java program, but the errors appear even after I de-activated that function.

Could you please check this? Is your system running some java software when you get this crash?
Is that copy routine found by Diederik related to my problems with that java program?
