I still don't understand what you mean by "go to Emacs".  Making a selection 
in a program is a user interaction.  It is not as though some other program 
that I don't interract with steals the selection.  So about 1% of all my C-y 
in Emacs yanks the selection from another program.  But that is because I 
expect it to, I did a selection in another program before C-y.

If I interract with another program before I change to Emacs and do C-y, I'd 
say close to 100%.
