AFAIR emacs has a special X interface which tells is to open in it's own window, which caused me problems in the past using 800x600. If you type emacs -nw this should simply fire up emacs in that terminal. I have emacs -nw aliased so that, every time I type emacs, it just comes up in the xterm I'm typing in.
