I run emacs from the Xsession control box with the following set up in
my .Xdefaults and help file.  I think you could set your environment

__________________________________________________________________

GNU Emacs is a new version of Emacs, written by the author
of the original (PDP-10) Emacs, Richard Stallman.

Emacs has an extensive interactive help facility, but the
facility assumes that you know how to manipulate Emacs
windows and buffers. ESC-x info <return> enters the Help
facility.  Help Tutorial (ESC-x help-for-help t) requests
an interactive tutorial which can teach beginners the
fundamentals of Emacs in a few minutes.  Help Apropos
(ESC-x help-for-help a) helps you find a command given its
functionality, Help Character (ESC-x help-for-help c)
describes a given character's effect, and Help Function
(ESC-x help-for-help f) describes a given Lisp function
specified by name.
