I just had this problem, after upgrading my XEmacs from 19.13 to 19.14
(from the source, not from the package). It seems that when XEmacs reads
your .emacs file, it will stop if there is an error, and therefore never
read in the .xemacs-options file. In my case, it was stuff from when I used
GNU Emacs.

I had this problem when my resolver config was screwed up. X took a long
time starting up. See if your hostname is not in /etc/hosts.
