I've just tried with the default Fedora 16 Emacs (23.3.1) which worked
fine. I am now installing emacs 24 from source. (600MB d/l - slow DSL..)
I've also tried konsole v2.8.1, and still no problem..

There must be something different about your environment that makes it
fail. Maybe your desktop's environment variables are interfering.
Can you try launching the applications from a "clean" session, ie: one
with a sanitized environment (maybe via ssh to localhost to clear it?).
