yeah, so im trying not to have to output to a temp file, then open that file
in <favorite editor> then copy to clipboard then close editor then use
clipboard then delete temp file then breath deeply.  it would be nice to do
cat temp.file > clipboard, use clipboard and be done with it.

since everything is a file in *nix, im guessing the issue here is to just
figure out where the clipboard file is in xubuntu.  but ive seen some
mention of a clipboard daemon in gnome or something...dunno how things work
in xubuntu...
