This interferes with my long-held muscle memories when using emacs, so I
have used this solution:

 ; Clipboard selection,  29 December 2008, AED
(global-set-key "\C-x7c" 'clipboard-kill-ring-save)
(global-set-key "\C-x7y" 'clipboard-yank)
(global-set-key "\C-x7v" 'clipboard-yank)
(global-set-key "\C-x7x" 'clipboard-kill-region)

I use the prefix \C-x7 for several commands.  You may want to use another
keybinding.
