OK, since I do most of the X maint for gnuemacs, here's the scoop:

1)  Gnuemacs accepts most of the standard X arguments, including font,
geometry (except that the geometry spec requires a -w to precede it),
display (except that -d is needed to set it off).  You can't specify
mouse bitmap, but that isn't a terribly standard feature in X programs
either.

2)  In the past few days, I've hacked the X interface to make emacs
appear to start up much faster, by processing command line arguments
for X in C.

3)  RMS does in fact support the X code.  The X code is part of the
standard release, the only thing is that HAVE_X_WINDOWS is not
#defined in config.h.dist.
