I got it to work by changing "emacs.font:" in my ~/.Xresources to "emacs22.font". There seems to be an Ubuntu bug here. Even though I install the main Emacs 22 package named "emacs", and it grabs its dependency (emacs22-gtk), I don't get an executable named "emacs". I only get one named "emacs22". Thanks.
