Ahhh, wait. I found something. There is an applet glipper http://glipper.sourceforge.net/ which is in my Fedora 11 repository. It gives me essentially what I want. From what I can tell, it looks like the name comes from copying a similar kde utility, klipper. I am still sorta curious as to what program is performing the clipboard management function (built into X, maybe?).
