Sorry, sorry, sorry!  Of course, I swapped the two Emacs files,
and sent you the wrong one.

For all the tests I made yesterday, I thus used the very
simplified config file (205 lines with a lot of comments,
instead of 5000, as you saw) that's attached here. That's a 1:25
slim ratio!

For my curiosity, I'd be interested to know which errors you
got, as my goal is to make my .emacs file as general and
multi-purpose as possible, and as I'd like to share it on the
Web for the interested ones.

I cannot really remove more stuff than I did now: I just kept
what's related to font-lock, my faces and my color-theme setup.

The only thing you have to change to make this file work for you
is to update (lines 44 to 50) the value of the 2 following
variables:

    ,----
    | (defvar my-site-lisp-directory
    |   "~/emacs/site-lisp/"
    |   "Name of directory where my color-theme-sva.el file reside.")
    |
    | (defvar other-local-site-lisp-directory
    |   "/home/sva/media/Downloads/emacs/site-lisp/"
    |   "Name of directory where Emacs color-theme.el reside.")
    `----

Hope this now helps. And sorry once again for my mistake.

Seb

PS- In order to have a complete setup, I also attach the 2 other
    config files.
