It's really a shame that Emacs doesn't just work with elementary.

To make your live easier, you can set XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 directly in Emacs' .desktop file. Just modify /usr/share/applications/emacs.desktop to say:

    Exec=env XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 emacs %F

Alternatively, you can copy over the .desktop file to $HOME/.local/share/applications so that it is not overwritten on the next Emacs package upgrade.
