I have a local patch which causes Emacs (in GUI sessions) to read the
.emacs because creating the "initial" frame.  You could use something
like that, but it requires recompiling Emacs.

Another option might be to use an emacs daemon, since in this case as
well the .emacs file is read before setting up any GUI frame.
