The install went well apparently without errors. However the only way I can use emacs is through a konsole or xterm session . I also tried to make a menu entry for emacs in the menu editor (I am using KDE) , I simply put the command entry as 'emacs' however this fails to work at all. Will emacs only work as part of a terminal session or is there something else I should do. I am going to try it on my Debian(Etch) install later. Cheers Flebber PS works perfect as part of a terminal session.
