With the latest changes in gtk-3-6 (quartz: merge the clipboard storing code from gtk-2-24), experimental GTK3 builds are affected in the same way, and based on the comments in the commit, it seems to be the correct behavior: gtk asks for all targets of the clipboard.

For Inkscape, a current solution could be to:
1) silently fail if export to clipboard fails (don't show the error messages returned by some of the output extensions)
2) in trunk: do not try to modify the window title bar when exporting the clipboard content (there is no window to be modified)
