See the attached screenshots for 

    emacs -q -mm 

on stable Emacs and the development builds.

Emacs from trunk is misbehaving.  Any idea what could be wrong?  Where
should I specifically look?

I'm not sure.  But Emacs from trunk works well on my machine:

  In GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.8.4)

I am willing to debug further, if only someone could give me some
starting points.  I am not much familiar with X or WMs.

[1] I remember Juri Linkov fixing a bug wrt ediff which could only be
seen with XFCE.  So this behaviour I am seeing MAY be peculiar to XFCE.

Capturing the Toolkit information (from screenshots) in textual form.

Debian 6.05 (Squeeze) XFCE.

No, it's Unity (see my previous screenshot).  But Emacs from trunk also
works on my Xfce (4.10) desktop. (See the new screenshot.)

Me too.
