This minimal session does not mean that no X resources are existing  
or are set for this session. Besides making the output of 'xrdb -q'  
empty there are still files with default X resources an X client can  
find and read and apply ...

An option would be to activate Kubuntu (KDE instead of GNOME) or  
Xubuntu (Xfce as Window Manager in a still GTK based environment but  
less resources hungry). The ldd utility should list which dynamic  
libraries GNU Emacs actually uses to check whether it's really not  
depending on/using GTK.


Finally you can launch GNU Emacs on a different host and make it  
display on your local machine. And vice versa. The first test will  
make *some* GNU Emacs become the client of your local X server, so it  
should behave (look) like your own GNU Emacs. (If not, then it's due  
to binding to libraries and different X resources in files.) In the  
second case, displaying your Ubuntu Emacsen remotely, they should  
show up like *some* GNU Emacs of that remote machine on that remote  
machine. If not, then again it's based on libraries and X resources  
used.

You should provide the same fonts on both computers or some X font  
server. This one might be another cause ...


The family of *trace programmes offers the ability to record all  
files a binary programme opens.
