I've developed a weird problem over the last couple of weeks that has me stumped. If I start up emacs (using alt-f2 or desktop application icon or in terminal window) it almost always immediately minimizes down to the panel and i have to click on it down there to get it to open properly. This doesn't happen to other programs and in fact once in a while (5% of time?) emacs opens properly although I can't detect any pattern. This problem started out of the blue and I can't figure out where to look to fix it. Could someone please point me to a config file or whatever that might be causing this?
