I am experiencing the same problem. The emacs process starts and hangs -- I think during window system initialization. I tried uninstalling and re-installing with the same result. The following is version information: $ rpm -q emacs emacs-22.3-4.fc10.i386 $ which emacs /usr/bin/emacs $ file /usr/bin/emacs /usr/bin/emacs: symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/emacs' $ file /etc/alternatives/emacs /etc/alternatives/emacs: symbolic link to `/usr/bin/emacs-22.3' $ emacs --no-window-system works fine within a terminal window. This is why I think it has to do with window system interaction.
