I tried this on a Ubuntu Feisty machine, but that machine does not
have the X11 headers installed, so I could only compile a terminal
based emacs. 

But this emacs would say "invalid argument framep 1" at startup. I set
debug-on-error to t and run C-x 5 2. The backtrace showed that the
error is in `getenv' and it is cause by an env.el change that YOU
installed on the multi-tty branch without a ChangeLog.

PLEASE REVERT THE CHANGE! It is never a good idea to install changes
without testing them, and you obviously didn't.
