[X2Go-User] Emacs crashes on start

[Roderick Johnstone]

Hi

I'm connecting from a Mac (X2Go Client v. 4.0.5.1 (Qt - 4.8.7)) to 
Fedora 24 with a xfce session using the 
x2goserver-4.0.1.19-11.fc24.x86_64 packages from the fedora repos.

On starting emacs, I get the error below. This issue seems to have been 
around for a while in similar forms, but didn't affect me under Fedora 22.

Is anyone in a position to confirm this issue on Fedora 24 and suggest a 
work around? I tried setting various environment variables suggested on 
various web pages for similar issues and in the bug report noted in the 
error message (and checked /etc/PROBLEMS), but nothing was effective.

emacs starts fine in an xfce session at the console.

Thanks

Roderick Johnstone
