No, it does not. GNu Emacs finds there its GTK resource file. When =20 you look up the variable load-path this element is not mentioned. Different from this is the initial behaviour to look for an init.el =20 file in ~/.emacs.d. This one is found. If it loads other ELisp files, =20= then these have to be in load-path. -- Greetings Pete Don't force it; get a larger hammer. =96 Anthony's Law of Force
