clipboard, where is it?

One thing that has come up before and I have it installed here on my
box is a program called xclip.  The best we can do right now is cut
with the speakup cut/paste feature and then open up a shell or use the
current shell to use xclip and paste from the speakup into the
clipboard.  Once sclip has the contents, you can go into any gnome
application and use the conventional clipboard retrieval methods to
get that contents.

I don't know how easy it would be to do, but if there were a way to pipe
the contents of the speakup clipboard into this application, maybe we
would have something.  I've heard of system pipes; is it possible to
some hook such a thing to this application and all speakup would need
to do is export the contents of the buffer into this pipe? I'm
thinking of pressing the paste key and have the output routed to this
pipe or something instead of putting it to the screen.

Does any of this make sense?
