Sorry to reply to my own message.

I just discovered that this is a "well-known" bug w/in the emacs
development crowd (including Richard Stallman)[1].  There is evidently
a nasty interaction between Emacs-22 and KDE which is causing this
annoying bug.  (Explains why I am not seeing it with Gnome.)  As of
Dec. 8th, they were working on it.

Please ignore the above request for tests.  Fedora
probably won't touch this if it's being worked on upstream.
