Emacs 22.1 - Only starts in Konsole

Emacs 22.1 - Only starts in Konsole

[Sayth]

Hi

I recently installed Emacs 22.1 from source on a PclinuxOs 2007 install. 
The install went well apparently without errors. However the only way I 
can use  emacs is through  a konsole or xterm  session . I also tried to 
make a menu entry for emacs in the menu editor (I am using KDE) , I 
simply put the command entry as 'emacs' however this fails to work at 
all. Will emacs only work as part of a terminal session or is there 
something else I should do.  I am going to try it on my Debian(Etch) 
install later.

Cheers

Flebber

PS works perfect as part of a terminal session.

Once you've installed a few developer packages you can configure GNU  
Emacs with X11 support.

Right-click -> run command "emacs" should run the program under X.
It also runs from the console. The environment is autodetected.
So I guess something's wrong over there ;)
