I recommend that the xorg-server maintainers consider the following
patch to system.XWinrc:
--- system.XWinrc.orig 2009-02-22 12:27:28.000000000 -0500
+++ system.XWinrc 2009-06-09 11:57:50.328125000 -0400

+ emacs exec "bash -l -c /usr/bin/emacs"

xload exec "xload -display %display%" # Comment
}
The most important part of this is changing the way emacs is called; the
original version didn't work at all for me (i.e., emacs didn't start).
This might be related to the fact that I've installed the emacs-23
packages, which use the alternatives system:
/usr/bin/emacs -> /etc/alternatives/emacs
/etc/alternatives/emacs -> /usr/bin/emacs-X11.exe
