The warning is about you are not member of the group games,

Oug? You've said that with /usr/bin/emacs-gtk the error is gone?  If so you
might check is there is a background process running for a emacs server

  ps ux | grep emacs

this because there exists a systemd user service unit which might start such a
daemon server:

  werner/emacs> ps aux | grep emacs
  werner   21109 18.9  0.7 255536 63320 ?        Ssl  09:32   0:01
/usr/bin/emacs --fg-daemon
  werner   21129  0.0  0.0   3400   608 pts/0    S+   09:32   0:00 grep emacs

If you reinstall emacs you might restart this user service unit

  systemctl --user restart emacs

if this is not the case then one of the environment variables in the script
/usr/bin/emacs cause the broken behaviour.

Ah ... OK that isn't deliverd from configure script to the manual pages :(
