No, mine works fine.  I'm using the latest of everything, on XP with 768M of
memory.

With my DISPLAY set to 192.168.0.102:0.0, I get an X version of Xemacs.  With
it unset, I get the windows one.

They both work fine.

You aren't starting xemacs from a script that might be changing something in
your environment, are you?
