I'm a bit exotic. No desktop environment, just a window manager
(fvwm2). I was actually quite a fan of GNOME in the early 2000s,
but by about 2008 or so it started becoming too complex for my
taste. After a short dabbling in XFCE I decided a desktop environment
is too limiting for me and I went back to a simple WM; first it
was Awesome, then (full circle) fvwm2.
I have to do more things myself, but then I can do more things
myself, and I appreciate that :-)

Hmmm. I see. Any chance finding out how Emacs is really invoked
by your desktop environment?
What happens if you open a terminal and just enter
emacs <your-file-here>
(substituting <your-file-here> by the real file path of your
problematic file, of course)
Cheers
