I've got the same problems (see Bug 1173857). Sorry for my ignorance, but how do I change the theme from oxygen to something else?
I just did some testing to se what causes emacs23 to hang: - If I start emacs from a terminal, then it most of the time does to open a new window. - emacs -nw from a terminal works fine (as also noticed above) - If I start emacs from the kubuntu menu, then it (almost) always starts, and does not hang immiately. After that there are many things that I can do before Emacs hangs, such as: - compose an E-mail message (using M-X mail). It hangs only when I try to send the mail (using Ctl-C). - Write some text in the scratch-window, and save it to the disk. - I can edit some more, and do a "recover file" to get back what I saved earlier, and it still works fine. - Many of the the help menues under Ctl-H work fine. However, Ctl-H r makes it hang. After that I have to wait some time before it again starts properly. - The window splitting commands work fine. However, there are certain commands that always make Emacs hang: - Find file (Ctl-X Ctl-F) - Visit File (Ctl-X Ctl-V) - Dired - Sending of Mail - Ctl-H r (Display the Emacs manual in Info mode.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1142213 Title: emacs23/24 GUI does not start when run in Kubuntu 13.04 with oxygen- gtk theme enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs23/+bug/1142213/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
