emacs very slow; zombie processes eventually cleared


When I start emacs I get this message:
(emacs:192): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_distribute_natural_allocation: assertion `extra_space >= 0' failed

Maybe when zombies are present (as reported by 'top') I get several of these messages:
(emacs:192): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_window_parse_geometry() called on a window with no visible children; the window should be set up before gtk_window_parse_geometry() is called.

Perhaps I have too many 'helper' programs running?
e.g., why are there 3 dbus-daemon processes?
Here is the result of 'ps':
