How about sending the entire content of the clipboard to a daemon when 
the app exits? The daemon will hold the data until the user copies 
something else. Data is transfered via shared memory on localhost, or 
xincr or whatever on remote hosts.
I believe this will solve most of the problems mentioned and has no 
performance problems.
