>Is there a version of GNU Emacs that runs nicely under X?

Unix Review of July 89 reviewed GNU Emacs version 18.53 and reported: 

"GNU Emacs comes with rudimentary support for the X Window system
(versions 10 and 11).  It currently lacks the ablility to use the
mouse for scrolling, and pop-up menus are only minimally implemented.
GNU Emacs version 19 will include full support for X11."

I don't know when version 19 will be released, but you can contact the
Free Software Foundation, the publisher of GNU Emacs, directly or
through the gnu.* newsgroups.  You can ask more questions in the
comp.emacs newsgroup.
