Hello,

after investigating KWrite and Kate it seems to me that they are rather weak tools, so I return to XEmacs. However where to get the .xemacs-directory including content? I assumed re-installing xemacs would do the job, however it doesn't. So it seems that the OpenSuse installation at some point plants the .xemacs-directory with content --- how to get that?

Or is there some other place where I can find a *fitting* .xemacs-directory?

Would be great if somebody could help.

Doesn't XEmacs create a default directory for itself if one doesn't exist?

After looking closer into the error message upon starting xemacs, I realised that there is some .emacs file; okay, I deleted that, and then XEmacs started, however then just not bothering at all about .xemacs. Upon saving the settings, .xemacs/custom.el is created, but no .xemacs/init.el. Of course I have *old* init.el files, but it seems they are all creating trouble ("gnu-emacs" and such stuff). Thus I just would like to have a clean up-to-date iinit.el, which one would assume that the Suse distribution should contain it.

Thanks, yes, there is a /etc/skel/xemacs/init.el . However, the content looks somewhat suspicious to me. For example the Auctex-code seems superfluous (XEmacs loads is anyway), and also the custom.el file is used anyway. SO now it seems actually best to me, just to use an empty init.el file, and to enter only those things were I'm sure they are needed (I got strange behaviour of xemacs with other init.el code). So for me I regard the problem now as solved. Thank nevertheless! Oliver On Wed, Sep 29, 2010 at 06:08:32PM +0200, Togan Muftuoglu wrote:

I do not use xemacs but emacs and there is /etc/skel/.gnu-emacs so check if there is one for xemacs
