Has to do with XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS ("internet is full of it")

The temporary fix for me:

Create /usr/local/bin/emacs-fix

export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
emacs24-x

Open /usr/share/applications/emacs.desktop:
Change Exec=/usr/local/bin/emacs-fix %F

Perhaps somebody here can help finding a good fix for it.

Thanks for taking your time sharing this fix with me!

All the best,
Jonas
