I'd prefere this second solution, with one small change. The
"paragraph" created by MuPAD get inserted _into_ the inset. The inset
can then be placed into the update queue when MuPAD has finished its
work. This should be easy to accomplish with threads.

This second one looks best, and don't use the clipboard.
(you would have to create a clipboard to be able to have two MuPADs
working at the same time, or a special purpose "clipboard-protocol")
