To help you test further: Also try to run Emacs in a
terminal *in X*. Start a terminal, be it urxvt, xterm,
gnome-terminal, or what Ubuntu uses - look in the
menus, I guess - then type 'emacs' (to get the GUI, the
same as you get if you click an Emacs icon on the
Ubuntu desktop), and then instead try 'emacs -nw'. You
will see a slightly different thing. Does it work
there? Does it work in the terminal itself - that is,
with no Emacs (or anything) running?
