A little more on this. Do you mean it works just fine on some |
35 |
machines as well? |

Something to test your theory... (I tried it here with no better |
38 |
results) is from Konq, right click/open with/other and put /usr/bin/emacs -Q |
39 |
|
40 |
Which will start emacs with no site-file or ~/.emacs being loaded. |
41 |
I tried that here but still just got the bouncing emacs icon/cursor. |
42 |
|
43 |
Can you start emacs without problems from konqueror at right |
44 |
click/open with/ on any machine? I mean without `xterm -e emacs' |
