I've installed Intrepid and used Synaptic to install emacs22-gtk, the problem is when I boot Emacs the initail screen is 'frozen', if I press a key it just beeps at me and if I click on the screen it displays a letter!

I can kill the buffer and it then drops me into the normal screen which seems to work fine.

My .emacs file (I copied from someone else) :-




(setq default-frame-alist (append (list
'(width . 120) ; Width set to 81 characters
'(height . 65)) ; Height set to 60 lines
default-frame-alist)) (fmakunbound 'c-mode)
(makunbound 'c-mode-map)
(fmakunbound 'c++-mode)
(makunbound 'c++-mode-map)
(makunbound 'c-style-alist)

(autoload 'c++-mode "cc-mode" "C++ Editing Mode" t)
