 Well, basically the call to GTKmm should return a list of clipboard
targets, but in some cases it simply returns rubbish. It's hard to
predict what effect this rubbish might have on Inscape's behaviour, but
this specific bug report is one example of what might happen. But this
same bug might rear its ugly head in more places. All the bugs you've
mentioned before in this post

https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/389262/comments/14

might have been caused by this! But maybe I'm getting a bit too
optimistic now ;-).
