I guess, this information is pretty obvious, but I can tell you that
this is a GTK specific issue. Personally, I use Emacs with
athena-toolkit (libxaw) instead of GTK. I did not encounter this problem
with it.
If you're interested, this is the package definition:
(define-public own-emacs
(package
(inherit emacs)
(name "emacs")
(synopsis "The extensible, customizable, self-documenting text editor
with athena toolkit" )
(build-system gnu-build-system)
(inputs `(
("inotify-tools" ,inotify-tools)
("libxaw" ,libxaw)
,@(alist-delete "gtk+" (package-inputs emacs))))
(arguments `(
#:configure-flags '("--with-x-toolkit=athena")
,@(package-arguments emacs)))))
