I have noticed at least one message reporting problems with gnuemacs
not starting up under X.  I discovered (but have not investigated) the
fact that you must permit gnuemacs (I have 18.44) to read the X term
file in order for it to startup.  If you null the gnuemacs variable

term-file-prefix

in .emacs to prevent loading a term file (I had done that because it speeds
gnuemacs startup on regular terminals) then gnuemacs will sit forever
when invoked under X.
