I have a similar problem on Fedora Core 4, using the Gnome desktop. Once I sent a report about that to the emacs-devel list: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/39702 The solution I wrote there might not help your problem, though. The problem is in Emacs built with --with-x-toolkit=lucid (which is the default). No problem in the one built with --with-gtk, but /usr/bin/emacs-21.4 that FC4 provides seems to have been configured as the default. Masatake YAMATO who is one of the Emacs developers told me that he will improve it, although it has not been achieved yet. I'll forward this thread to him.
