Hear, hear. (Well, mutatis mutandis for Linux and OS X...) I guess the only solution would be to place the contents of the clipboard into the kill ring each time a kill inside Emacs is made. So a kill would result in *two* additions to the kill ring: the external clipboard and the text being killed. I suspect that would get annoying real soon... Alternatively (at least under Linux), you could (write and) run an X server within Emacs, which would allow you to use the kill ring directly as clipboard.
