Yes, that approach works.
Create a directory for your org-mode configuration in your dropbox
directory, say /path/to/dropbox/emacs-config/.
Put the contents of your .emacs in, say, emacs-config/init.el.
In the .emacs file on each machine, put:
(setq cls/config-dir "/absolute/path/to/dropbox/emacs-config/")
; note the trailing slash!
(load (concat cls/config-dir "init.el"))
In init.el, set the `custom-file' variable to make the emacs customize
interface store its data under the dropbox directory:
(setq custom-file (concat cls/config-dir "customize.el"))
Assuming your org-mode checkout is at emacs-config/org-mode6.35i, use
(add-to-list 'load-path (concat cls/config-dir "org-mode6.35i/lisp"))
(require 'org)
; other org-mode setup stuff
If you want to have some machine-specific configuration, there is no
need to use different files for different machines -- just check for the
hostname.
For example, I use org-mode on my laptop and my n900 smartphone, so my
startup files include:
(setq jb/system
(cond ((string-match "N900" system-name) 'n900)
((string-match "pythagoras" system-name) 'laptop)
(t 'unknown)))
and later I can do:
(when (eq jb/system 'n900)
(blink-cursor-mode 0))
to disable blink-cursor-mode on the n900 to save battery power.
(Emacs idle CPU usage with blink-cursor-mode: 1.5%. Without: 0% :) )
Because the path to your org files is rather long, you also might be
interested in this post, where Nathan Neff describes a way to easily
define shortcuts to jump to frequently used files/headings:
