Yes, I know of it. I should note that I was told that it doesn't work on KDE, 
and when I'm running KDE, I'm using the following script:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
#!/bin/bash

# Copy standard input or a string to the KDE clipboard.
if [[ $# -eq 0 ]]; then
    input="$(cat)"
else
    input="$*"
fi

if which klipper | grep -q kde3 ; then
    dcop klipper klipper setClipboardContents "$input"
else
    dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.kde.klipper \
        /klipper org.kde.klipper.klipper.setClipboardContents \
        string:"$input"
fi

I call it "klip".
