Comment 22 for bug 418242

I'm still experiencing this problem with:
O/S: Arch linux: Linux dan-netbook 2.6.37-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT i686
WM: Xfce 4.8.0
Inkscape 0.48.1 r9760 (from Arch Linux package extra/inkscape)

I don't have xfce4-clipman running but the problem still occured.

1. Start inkscape. It will start with a blank document.
2. Create a rectangle using the rectangle tool.
3. Copy it using the keyboard shortcut CTRL+C
4. A few seconds after doing this a window titled "PostScript" will appear that looks just like the window I would see if I did (File -> Save . Then picked to save as postscript (.ps) file).
5. I click cancel and the same window appears again!
6. I click cancel on this new window and then another window pops up saying "This extension requires at least one non empty layer."

Grrr... frustrating.

I found a way to prevent this from happening in my particular case and that was to kill xfce4-settings-helper

$ pkill -f xfce4-settings-helper
