I've already tried it before. But it was rejected because of possible 
performance problems. Some people say that, for example, copying lots of 
items in Gnumeric is slow because Gnumeric has to convert the data to 
all available formats, and all that data must be copied.

You should search the archives. From what I understand, the conclusion 
was that just a clipboard manager that keeps the content in memory is 
not acceptable. They want a completely new clipboard design, that can 
deal with things like copying 1 gigabyte of video data.
