I guess your only other alternative at present is to use a different graphical toolkit. I guess on Ubuntu you can install the "emacs22" package instead of / as well (?) as the "emacs22-gtk" one. BTW, although it has the same issue, Emacs 23 is available. The relevant packages seem to be "emacs23" (for the GTK version) and emacs23-lucid (non-GTK).
