To help you test further: Also try to run Emacs in a terminal *in X*. Start a terminal, be it urxvt, xterm, gnome-terminal, or what Ubuntu uses - look in the menus, I guess - then type 'emacs' (to get the GUI, the same as you get if you click an Emacs icon on the Ubuntu desktop), and then instead try 'emacs -nw'. You will see a slightly different thing. Does it work there? Does it work in the terminal itself - that is, with no Emacs (or anything) running? -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
