If you don't like the GUI features of the GTK emacs, you can turn them
off. I have the following in my .emacs:
(menu-bar-mode -1)
(fringe-mode 1)
and I've disabled the toolbar-mode and scroll-bar-mode using the
customize-variable stuff. This gets rid of all the GUI distractions, but
you can still use the alt/meta key, which is tricky to do with emacs-nox
(at least it was tricky to me last time I tried to do so).
