I don't really understand your comment about /proc/$PID/cmdline. Where
is it used?

GPaste has built-in support for managing password, so why would you
want to just nuke the whole history of the user instead of making use
of this feature?

Or what you mean is that passing the password as an argument is the
problem? If this is the problem, I don't see how "echo password |
xclip" is any better.
