crash running emacs

[Ernesto Martin]

I've just installed elementary OS Beta 2 on Virtualbox. Trying to open emacs (24.5.1) crashes when it opens a windows. Running it with -nw option (within a terminal) runs ok

Is it, by any chance, this issue: http://elementaryos.stackexchange.com/questions/797/how-to-get-gnu-emacs-work-on-elementary-os ?

Looks like you are right and it is the same bug. Output error in a terminal
is different:

X protocol error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) on protocol
request 139
When compiled with GTK, Emacs cannot recover from X disconnects.
This is a GTK bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715
For details, see etc/PROBLEMS.
