I am having this issue in 14.04. I have actually nautilus-dropbox in case it matters, I did not test without dropbox.
Reproduction: 0_ open nautilus, go to some file. 1_ F2 key to edit name 2_ Ctrl+c to copy the name 3_ Esc 6_ F2 key to edit name again at this point the problems begins: (nautilus:9723): Gtk-WARNING **: Inserting action group 'ClipboardActions' into UI manager which already has a group with this name 7_ Ctrl + c (this is probably doing nothing because the action is "unhooked" by now due to the previous problem 8_ Ctrl + v (nautilus:9744): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_clipboard: assertion 'gtk_widget_has_screen (widget)' failed (nautilus:9744): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_clipboard_request_text: assertion 'clipboard != NULL' failed Thoughts: _This could be related to transitioning from GtkAction to GAction. _Something is being done to the copy/paste actions when pressing F2; probably disabling them and reenabling them afterwards; it seems someone is assuming that adding the actions back will simply update them, but it is not happening that way.
