I don't use Ubuntu but report 

    https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs21/+bug/23005/+index

and its comments suggest that it may be a bug in "metacity" window
manager. In the comments someone told a work-around which is to add line

    (modify-frame-parameters nil '((wait-for-wm . nil)))

in the beginning of your ~/.emacs file.

I don't know anything about the problem myself. I just used Google and
copy-pasted stuff from the bug report.
