Hello Fabrice, I have load-home-init-file set t in my user-init-file. Could it be that you have an equivalent setup? load-user-init-file-p may also be of interest. Have you ever been asked about user init file migration? Do you have both, .emacs and .xemacs/init.el? -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/

Have a look in ~/.xemacs/, maybe there's something in there that's playing havoc. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: A94B3003>---| | XEmacs - The only _______ you'll ever need. | | Fill in the blank, yes, it's THAT good! | |------------------------------&lt;sryoungs(a)bigpond.net.au&gt;---|
