I am experiencing the same problem. The emacs process starts and
hangs -- I think during window system initialization. I tried
uninstalling and re-installing with the same result. The following is
version information:
$ rpm -q emacs
emacs-22.3-4.fc10.i386
$ which emacs
/usr/bin/emacs
$ file /usr/bin/emacs
/usr/bin/emacs: symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/emacs'
$ file /etc/alternatives/emacs
/etc/alternatives/emacs: symbolic link to `/usr/bin/emacs-22.3'
$ emacs --no-window-system
works fine within a terminal window. This is why I think it has to do
with window system interaction.
