In my opinion this should be matter of principle: Why an application should, more o less silently, change the configuration file which belongs to the user? If really the application needs some change in configuration file, this should be flagged as an error so that the user takes the appropriate steps.. Since this was added to Emacs, I have a backup copy of my original init file so that I can remove those not requested addictions.. and this is very annoying... Angelo
