I found this page http://milianw.de/code-snippets/access-klipper-clipboard-on-cli-under-kde4
If you scroll down in the comments it has this line. echo "foobar" | ./clipboard -- would add "foobar" to the clipboard I 'think' you can do this as a shell call to add stuff to the klipper clipboard. At which point I don't know if it will show up in revs clipboard data or not, but worth an attempt. of course ./clipboard should point to wherever the program is (unless its in the path in which case it'd be just clipboard) Not sure this will help or not, but thought i'd toss it out there. Also kinda wondered if theres an easy way to just send a ctrl-c to copy and ctrl-v to paste to the system somehow.
