But that would mean setting the selection each time the user does a C-w or M-w or any other action that pushes text on the kill ring, won't it? If so, I'm afraid it would make Emacs routine ops significantly slower, and for no good reason: most Emacs ops have nothing to do with pasting in other apps.
