I saw a posting on this group recently saying that xemacs is about to be dropped, so decided I better start training my fingers to use emacs instead. Am running openSuSE 11.4 x86_64 and tried to fire off emacs and it barfed -

Can anyone decipher this for me and tell me how to help emacs feel better? Thanks much, Marc...
Guess: you're using the default that is emacs-gtk and this one requires a running D-Bus. You may do export EMACS_TOOLKIT=x11 before starting emacs. But with this you'll see the Xaw3d API and not the modern GTK Look&Feel. Btw: using standard login should use dbus-launch ... for my personal ~/.xsession I'm using killall -u werner -q dbus-daemon exec -a dbus-launch dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session fvwm2 as very last line.
