Sorry for the late response to this - I haven't had access to a Linux
machine, but either way, I'm afraid I don't use Emacs; maybe someone else on
this list can help. In fact, I have never used Emacs (apart from MicroEmacs
in 1994, which doesn't count. For some reason, when they upgraded the
mainframe when I was at  university in Christmas '93, they couldn't port
Emacs to it so I never used it from then and got used to other text editors
instead. I've certainly never used the X version of it.

I can't see why it would cause the problem either, and I'm not willing to
try and replicate the problem I'm afraid, for obvious reasons. The world of
X is a mystery to me. I'm glad GTK+ shields most of that world from me. 

Sorry
