Nahhhhhh.  I use:

"emacs":(White:"#0000ff"):	!"emacs -font 9x15&"

AT least this is okay under X on a VaxstationII running Ultrix-32.  Otherwise
you add an extra process or so on top ( though it does work...)

To the original poster...  Aside from doing it from the mouse,. can you 
enter the command (at the prompt) "emacs &"  The behavior should be the
same (window brought up, etc.).  And you can try "emacs -nw) which should just 
bring it up "normal" on the xterm window you have open.

Good luck.
