----------------------------------

Hi,

I upgraded to kubuntu 13.04 and discovered that emacs won't open a window.
I installed gnome and it works fine there. Rebuilt emacs from gnu source and
it has the same problem.

Is this a known problem?
Any possible setting issue

Other tools seem to work OK (only tried a handful like xterm, xxdiff, 'make gconfig')

There is an alternative that kdm may be at fault. I don't know which project, but
I guessed kubuntu-packaging is where inter-package testing should occur.
