Here's what I tried.  They both kill correctly, but the yank does not
yank the whitespace.  I think I need the mouse-1 double click to
select the word and the whitespace after it.

That is, I think the problem and solution involve the select, not the
kill.
 
(defadvice kill-region (after delete-horizontal-space activate)
  "Delete trailing whitespace as well."
  (if (looking-at "\\s ")
      (just-one-space)))
