Somehow having a tty attached works around that.=20 A little more on this. Do you mean it works just fine on some machines as well? Something to test your theory... (I tried it here with no better results) is from Konq, right click/open with/other and put /usr/bin/emac= s -Q Which will start emacs with no site-file or ~/.emacs being loaded. I tried that here but still just got the bouncing emacs icon/cursor. Can you start emacs without problems from konqueror at right click/open with/ on any machine? I mean without `xterm -e emacs' --=20 gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
