I wanted to make you try

and

        /usr/bin/emacs -Q

The latter method should launch GNU Emacs without loading *any* local Ubuntu customisation. If they launch differently, then you have a clue that some Ubuntu customisation file is causing the too big appearence. If they appear in both cases the same then there can be an X resource causing this. Check files like .xinitrc and .Xdefaults, and check the output of 'xrdb -query' too! Comment out lines in .xinitrc, the file that launches X11, which have to do with xrdb, log off, and log in again. Now you should have less X resources set.

It's good use to launch an application by its path name -- but what when this path name is a script that launches the final application? It's not likely, but ps would reveal this.

I have in Mac OS X these two aliases to check this:

for csh family: alias PS "ps -lwwgx | egrep UID\|\!:1 | grep -v grep" for sh family: PS () { ps -lwwgx | egrep UID\|${1} | grep -v grep ; }

In a shell you simply type 'PS emacs' and you get something like:
