I remember playing around with this.  My issue was that
the color changes my .emacs set up wouldn't come into effect
if I manually loaded the .emacs.  But this .emacs (on the remote
machine) seemed to work just fine:


(eval-after-load 'dot-emacs
  (load-file "/bigfaceworm@localmachine.com:/path/to/bigfaceworm/.emacs"))

(provide 'dot-emacs)
