Have you tried PTH Pasteboard?
Now I own 5 pasteboard applications, and PTH Pasteboard is the one I use every day.
iClip 3 was really good, but it all went downhill with iClip 4.
PTH Pasteboard has not failed me. I use a variety of clipboards, and assigned 500 items to my main clipboard. Can't complain.

farewell, iClip, i guess... - Version: 4, 11/26/2008 02:08AM PST

i've relied heavily on iClip for a couple/few years now; i abandoned it for a while when v.4 came out with its unnecessarily gaudy and time-consuming UI, but i eventually returned after being unable to find any satisfactory alternatives. sadly, the app seems to have gone south on me once and for all - it's begun crashing at launch with an "unexpected error" and since the app doesn't seem to have any support files like a plist or anything that i could trash to try to resurrect it, and replacing the app with a newly downloaded copy didn't help, i can see nothing for it but to give up and look elsewhere for my multiple-clipboard goodness. i've written to the developer, but from what i'm seeing posted here i deduce that holding my breath pending a response would be...inadvisable.
Keyboard Maestro, here i probably come...
several things:
1: iClip is back. despite the complaints on here about iClip being unsupported, i got a response today from the developer (reasonably prompt, that) and, long story short, the crashing problem i was having turned out to be a corrupt plist file that i couldn't find for some reason (i guess i only searched with Spotlight, which deems searching ~/Library/Preferences to be beneath it). i tossed that file and all is well with iClip again...provided you overlook the overwrought UI.
2: thank you for the recommendation, epc; i've now installed PTH Pasteboard and am giving it a try, and as an iClip user, i see why you recommend it. i can even set it up to behave much like iClip, hot-key-wise - i have iClip set to pop up with Command-Option-Control-i, and PTH Pasteboard with Command-Option-Control-p so i can use both; if i prefer PTH i'll migrate to it altogether.
3: i'm not as sure about Keyboard Maestro as many of the other people reviewing it. but that's a matter for Keyboard Maestro's VT page.
