I have no idea of the technical details involved, but I do know that
kde's klipper (i think that's what its called) has had this working 
for as long as i can remember. The only issue, and it's probably a big
one, is that it only works with kde apps. /me smells a nasty hack.

Anyway, having the normal clipboard working properly is the number
one priority IMHO, but it would be nice to get this working at some
stage...
