BTW, the name "~/.emacs.d/emacs" (with or without a dot) seems rather
weird, and gives me little clue what the file actualy is for. Is it
an init file, like ~/.emacs? If so, something like
"~/.emacs.d/init.el" would be a great deal more clear...
[and as you say, this is the one chance to rename it without headaches, so...]
