emacs-desktop [ command-line switches ] [ files ... ]

Fedora Linux includes several different builds of GNU Emacs, each using different graphical toolkits (or none at all).  However, the Emacs developers recommend not running a pure GTK build of Emacs on the X Window System.  Fedora provides a wrapper, emacs-desktop, which will try to guess a suitable build, from those installed, for the current desktop environment.

Note that a favoured build can be selected using the alternatives system, with emacs-desktop taking the highest priority by default.
