Of course; that's my point exactly!  Emacs cannot know, and thus cannot
help but doing the annoying thing: throwing a dialogue.  That is what
this code

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(cond ((file-exists-p "~/.exwm") (load-file "~/.exwm"))
      ((not (featurep (quote exwm)))
       (require (quote exwm))
       (require (quote exwm-config))
       (exwm-config-default)
       (message (concat "exwm configuration not found. "
                        "Falling back to default configuration..."))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

helps to prevent in a very nice way.  Let's please keep it!
