Well, I start emacs from a menu item that says
emacs: !"emacs &"

However, I do have a little setup.  I run X by "xinit ~/.xstart",
where .xstart includes the lines

#! /bin/sh
TERM=xterm
export TERM
...
uwm 2>&1 >/dev/null &
...

It is the "TERM=xterm" in the environment that makes emacs start
happily and open a window.

If you started uwm from an xterm window, then it should all work fine.
