Is this on Gnome 1.4?

I just discovered that there is a bug in the version of xalf that is
distributed with Gnome 1.4. The bug has suddenly stopped Emacs from
working for me when launched from the Gnome panel or menus (it was
running fine last week) unless I selected "run in terminal".

Upgrading to the latest xalf (from
 http://www.lysator.liu.se/~astrand/projects/xalf/ ) fixed the
problem for me (and also fixed Mozilla, which has never run from the
panel or menu with a terminal before).
