[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Starting 'emacs', even 'emacs -Q', from the command line (eg a Terminal session) now givesthe following warning:
You are trying to run Emacs configured with the
"pure-GTK" interface under the X Windows System. That confituration is
unsupported and will lead to sporadic crashes during transfer of large
selection data. It will also lead to various problems with keyboard
input.
Install emacs-gtk+x11 or emacs-lucid package.


But the packages are already installed:

I think you should raise this issue with the maintainers of the Fedora
distro.  We here don't know how Fedora organizes the packaging of the
various variants of Emacs it distributes.

Thanks.

I found the same. I ended up running

  sudo alternatives --config emacs

to set which Emacs gets used.

Indeed, this is not a bug in Emacs.

I'm therefore closing this bug report.
