My experience was similar, and the work-around I found successful was
to launch xemacs from rxvt/bash, rather than from the Task Bar or
Start Menu. I spent a fair amount of time attempting to discover
whether there was an environment variable which accounted for this,
but failed.
If you're _really_ obsessive (like me :-( about launching from an
icon, compile the following and point the icon at it.
Hope this helps,
