Bug #358678 indeed seems to have the same root cause. Here's something
interesting. Before the workaround I had this:

$ locate rgb.txt
/usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt
/usr/share/X11/rgb.txt
/usr/share/emacs/22.2/etc/rgb.txt
$ ls -l /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2009-04-27 17:57 /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt -> /etc/X11/rgb.txt

So, not only /etc/X11/rgb.txt was missing, Jaunty seems to have created
a symlink to that unexisting location (someone please confirm, it could
have been me, by mistake, while trying some solution).

Anyway, copying /usr/share/emacs/22.2/etc/rgb.txt to /etc/X11 solved it.
Thanks!
