Sorry.  Obviously, I have no idea how all the eye-candy on the desktop
gets glued together, nor even what it's named.  Here are the libraries
that emacs with X links:

	linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x003b6000)

vs emacs-nox:

        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x00189000)
        libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x0311f000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x0060e000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x004cf000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00637000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x004b2000)

You can see what somebody might prefer the latter.
