Problem with emacs after switching to KDE

[k3nz13]

Hey guys,

I just switched over to KDE from Gnome in 9.10, and I get the following error now when I try to start emacs:


Font `-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-*--*-100-*--*--*- Xcursor.theme: DMZ-Black' is not defined


From my observation, it seems that the default font and the cursor theme are being concatenated, but I have no idea how to fix this. Any suggestions?

How are you trying to start it? Does this happen when you start it from the terminal?

Yes. I have managed to alleviate the problem by writing an alias:


alias emacs='emacs23 --font monospace-10'

I can't seem to understand why I can't start it with the default command though. I have also checked in gnome if I can still use emacs (on the same machine, same install), and sure enough, it works.
