I'm aware of the carbon functions for creating global hotkeys. I know
how to do that. I still don't think this is the best approach.
Besides, it breaks if the user chooses "copy" from the Edit menu
instead of hitting command-C.

That was just one of the suggestions I threw out for monitoring the
clipboard. All I want is for my background application to know what's
on the clipboard as it changes so I can keep track. I can do it by
constantly polling, but that seems really inefficient and I'm hoping
for suggestions for a better way.
