Re-tested on latest -current and it still works fine here. Do you have a special invocation you use? I'm no emacs user so I really have no clue about it...
Strange. Yes everything should be up to date. slackpkg has no interesting news and no missing packages with `install-new`, using alien's mirror. I have some blacklisted things, but I haven't touched that list in a long time and none of them are normal libraries. Just xfce/kde, the kernel, gcc and glibc because of multilib setup. Nothing related to gtk or gobject and definitely nothing changed since the last time I tried to use emacs a month ago.
I tested on a new vanilla user and it *does* work. So something crazy has happened to my setup. I have no idea what these css errors are. Something with gtk theming I guess. Investigating...

I found this post about the same issue (but not with emacs). It seems this is related to the theme (unico) you are using which is probably not compatible with gtk+3 3.6
Emacs 24.3 is the first emacs that will use gtk+ 3 by default, unless specified. The Slackbuild in current does not specify to force to gtk+ 2, but you could probably change the slackbuild from
--with-x-toolkit=gtk
which is non-specific and will default to gtk+ 3 if available, to
--with-x-toolkit=gtk2
Gtk+3 has numerous massive themeing changes in each release, making it very hard for themes to work without problems, as theme makers can't keep up. It would probably be better to just compile with gtk+2
Thanks everyone. Trying to rebuild it now with gtk2. Can anyone else build emacs on 64-current? It appears there's a library issue. New errors linking against imagemagick. Undefined references everywhere.
Hi,
if you run in current:
echo `pkg-config --cflags --libs MagickWand`
you get:
-DMAGICKCORE_HDRI_ENABLE=0 -DMAGICKCORE_QUANTUM_DEPTH=16 -I/usr/include/ImageMagick-6 -lMagickWand-6.Q16 -lMagickCore-6.Q16
if you do the same in the downgraded version from 14.0 you see the same 2 libs "-l" (minus 6.Q16)
Now, in the configure part, if using the downgraded version of imagemagic you see:
checking for Wand .... -I/usr/include/ImageMagick-6 ' LIBS='-lMagickWand -lMagickCore '
but in the configure part with current imagemagic you see:
checking for Wand .... -I/usr/include/ImageMagick-6 ' LIBS='-lMagickCore-6.Q16 '
