I was having this bug months ago on Karmic. For some reason, it stopped doing it (crashing upon pasting) so I did not bother. Today I think there was a kernel update or something and this thing started again. If I launched the program using sudo, everything seemed to work correctly. This seemed to suggest that inkscape is indeed trying to access the root to create some "temporary" png files. I tried to open (not as root but as normal user) an old pdf figure I produced earlier and saved it in my home directory. Then I was able to paste as usual in this document. Just to make sure, I closed the application, started again and I was able to paste from a fresh new document. I don't know if this will work for you but it seems to have fixed the bug for me... Enjoy!
