Hi Ben,

As the other reply mentions, the answer is no, there aren't
notifications. If you absolutely must poll the clipboard contents
periodically for changes, though, you can at least use the -changeCount
method to quickly see if the pasteboard has changed since the last time
you checked, instead of actually examining the data every time.

Hope this helps,
