Bug description:
  [Impact]

  * Emacs24 does not startup in KDE

  [Test Case]

  * Install emacs24
  * Set gtk3 theme to oxygen-gtk via systemsettings > Application Appearence > GTK
  * Run emacs24
  * Install update
  * Try and run emacs24 again

  [Regression Potential]
  * Minimal
  * Upstream release for oxygen-gtk3 is only a bug fix release

  
  If I try to run emacs23 in Kubuntu 13.04, (KDE 4.10.0) I am finding that the GUI starts only some of the time.

  If the GUI doesn't start then I will only see a process running in
  htop or similar.

  Starting emacs in a terminal window with the -nw argument or
  installing the Lucid interface shows that emacs does run each time it
  starts so the problem is either with the emacs GTK interface or the
  GTK libraries.

  Emacs24 exhibits the same problem.
