I doubt very seriously that this is anything new. We had the same problem, even though we were using Gnome and not KDE under gentoo (KDE was not even installed). That does leave unexplained why the bug bites us, but ... Anyway, as you can see in my comments to the gentoo bug that you cited in a previous message, <URL:http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18518>, our fix was to recompile emacs with different "USE flags" for the X11 toolkits, i.e., with the command USE="Xaw3d -motif" emerge emacs Until something else (not auctex) changes, I think that this is by far the best solution, because it also stops another really annoying behaviour in the default gentoo emacs install, which is that an annoying motif "find file" dialogue box pops up everytime you try to load a file and it requires mouse interaction to go away.
