   I'm unaware of anything like this having been implemented, but, as
you say, it should not be terribly difficult.  Of course, you'd have
to modify both the server and all clients that would access it.  I'd
probably look at passing the text in a "server clipboard update" to
the client, with some type of "flag" at the beginning of the text, to
indicate that it should be displayed in that fashion.  This way, if a
client that has not been modified should happen to connect, it will
simply get a bogus clipboard update, which should cause no harm.
