Why start it from an offscreen  xterm at  all?   The significant information
that'll  pass  down  to  gnuemacs is  the value  of $TERM....   So On my
HP9000/300 (HPUX), I call a script (xgnu) from my .uwmrc menu entry that
does the trick:

#!/bin/sh
# set TERM so that subprograms (like mh's scan) don't assume I'm using a 9836
TERM=xterms
export TERM
exec gnuemacs -i -fg Green -bg Sienna -bd Black -cr White $*
