Let's have the following site-start.el: $ cat site-start.el (setq user-init-file "/home/arthur/.emacs.d/.emacs") $ The file is actually read by emacs: stat64("/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el", {st_mode=3DS_IFREG|0644, st_size=3D1001,..}) =3D 0 open("/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) =3D 3 close(3) =3D 0 stat64("/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el", {st_mode=3DS_IFREG|0644, st_size=3D1001,..}) =3D 0 open("/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) =3D 3 close(3) =3D 0 stat64("/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el", {st_mode=3DS_IFREG|0644, st_size=3D1001,..}) =3D 0 open("/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) =3D 3 read(3, "(setq user-init-file \"/home/arth"..., 1053) =3D 1053 close(3) =3D 0 Emacs should then try to open "/home/arthur/.emacs.d/.emacs", as it should be the value of user-init-file, but user-init-file is still "~/.emacs": stat64("/home/arthur/.emacs.elc", 0xbfffeb28) =3D -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/home/arthur/.emacs.elc.gz", 0xbfffeb28) =3D -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/home/arthur/.emacs.el.gz", 0xbfffeb28) =3D -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/home/arthur/.emacs.el", 0xbfffeb28) =3D -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/home/arthur/.emacs", {st_mode=3DS_IFREG|0644, st_size=3D15632, ...}) =3D 0 open("/home/arthur/.emacs", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) =3D 3 close(3) =3D 0 This is confirmed by C-h v, and when setting custom variables in site-start.el, checking with C-h v shows they are unset. Is that the correct behavior ? 2) Sometimes the cursor won't disappear when moving it. This results in Emacs having two cursors: one "fixed" and the "real" one. When the real one goes where the fixed one is, then the fixed one disappears. I didn't see this problem in the PROBLEMS file, but I experience it 3-4 times a month. 3) Are the problems with Lesstif menu placement Emacs or Lesstif problems ? Are they being worked on ? Many people I know prefer Lesstif because of its scrollbar. But those problems give them a bad feeling about Emacs because they don't make any difference between Emacs and Lesstif. How can I help debug these problems ? ------------------------------------------ Faites un voeu et puis Voila ! www.voila.fr
