When you start Emacs, do you see any messages in the echo area or in the *Messages* buffer that could be related to the issue? Is $DISPLAY set in the environment? What about $TERM? Do previous versions of emacs-x11 from the same site start GUI sessions on the same AIX system? If nothing helps or gives a clue, step with a debugger through the function init_display (defined on dispnew.c), and see what is going on there. P.S. This kind of issue should be discussed on the bug tracker, not here. Please use "M-x report-emacs-bug RET" to report it, and then follow up with the details. Thanks.
