Thanks Era for looking into this. The answer is "yes": If i start with -q (or --no-init-file) it comes up exactly the same.
So i don't think the fault is the ~/.emacs. The *Messages* buffer has this in it: ("emacs") Loading encoded-kb...done command-line: Symbol's value as variable is void: on independent of how emacs is started. (I've also tried --debug-init, but i don't even get to the ~/.emacs it looks like.) Even if we don't get a fix we'd appreciate any ideas for investigation. dan era wrote: > I'm not sure I understand.
