It is fantastic!

#!/bin/bash

TOTAL=""

for i in "$@"
do
        TOTAL="$TOTAL \"$i\""
	done
echo "$TOTAL" | xclip -i 

If I knew it, I would not do the patch :-D

Very good idea :-)

My problem has been solved. If I was the unique in the world that I was
needing it: don't include the patch. If more people needs to use
xclip with gqview, then should be better to include in gqview. We talked
here about it and it seems that is not a common problem.

Finally I will be able to sleep well :-D
