mark a file in nautilus, then copy it with ctrl-c go to /tmp and open main edit menu of nautilus you see that paste entry is disabled. Apart from this, typing ctrl-v (that is paste) works and the copy or move is completed. So this error is not severe but easy to reproduce on arch and on ubuntu btw.
