Comment 69 for bug 418242

How annoying! Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit with Gnome environment, running Inkscape 0.48.4 from the official Ubuntu repository together with Netbeans 8.0.2 is a total bummer.

It even spoiled the system so much, then a following apt-get update took ages to read packages, because the system OS cache was totally full. Had to echo 3 into /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches to get to back to normality.

To reproduce:
- run Inkscape
- run Netbeans
- draw a text in Inkscape, press CTRL-C
- switch to Netbeans app

result:

at least 10 dialog boxes pop up, and until the clipboard is cleared more and more are coming.
Two types, one titled "Postscript" with various postscript settings, the other one without a title with

1. a label saying:

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.

2. and a read-only edit box saying:

UniConvertor failed:

Cannot list directory /home/username/.uniconvertor:[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/username/.uniconvertor'
ignoring it in font_path
Cannot list directory /home/username/.uniconvertor:[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/username/.uniconvertor'
ignoring it in font_path
I can't find font Sans. I'll use Slim instead

Confirming workaround: put something else to clipboard before switching to Netbeans.

Urgent action is needed NOW so that no more than 1 dialog box will appear with an option to tick

[ ] do not show more dialogs like this.

It's been for too long like this.
