And I get:

==============================
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ???/home/ergo/.emacs.d/init.el???:

error: Invalid face, rectangle-preview

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the ???--debug-init??? option to view a complete error backtrace.
