I wanted to make you try
/usr/bin/emacs -q
and
/usr/bin/emacs -Q
The latter method should launch GNU Emacs without loading *any* local
Ubuntu customisation. If they launch differently, then you have a clue
that some Ubuntu customisation file is causing the too big appearence.
If they appear in both cases the same then there can be an X resource
causing this. Check files like .xinitrc and .Xdefaults, and check the
output of 'xrdb -query' too! Comment out lines in .xinitrc, the file
that launches X11, which have to do with xrdb, log off, and log in
again. Now you should have less X resources set.
It's good use to launch an application by its path name -- but what
when this path name is a script that launches the final application?
It's not likely, but ps would reveal this.
I have in Mac OS X these two aliases to check this:
for csh family: alias PS "ps -lwwgx | egrep UID\|\!:1 | grep
-v grep"
for sh family: PS () { ps -lwwgx | egrep UID\|${1} | grep -v grep
; }
In a shell you simply type 'PS emacs' and you get something like:
