just as an update: after updating both src and xsrc userland, the 
problem is solved. Finally emacs installed GTK3 is ugly and buggy as 
hell, but well, that's life. Xaw or Motif did the same just better ;) I 
hope the GNUstep port of emacs will one day work.
Now I am struggling with Firefox and Thunderbird, then my system will be 
current and usable again !

Thanks for the support.
