Synergy (for which I rewrote the pasteboard code at one point) handles  
this by using a private "ownership" flavor in addition to the text/ 
graphics flavors it's writing.  If this flavor is present, it realizes  
it was the client which wrote the pasteboard and doesn't try to  
synchronize it.  It's pretty simple and easy to implement.
