I've piddled around with this for a while today, just wondering why
this might happen.
Briefly, the phenomena is that this line of code:
(setq inhibit-startup-message t)
Is ignored when inserted in site-start.el, but works (prevents splash
screen) when inserted in ~.emacs.
Too complicate things a
little.. /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el is a symlink
to a cvs protected file.
But, so is ~/.emacs
Further, by putting this:
(message "hello world -- from ~/.site-start.el") (sit-for 1)
At the bottom of both files (with aproppriate names to output)
I can see in *Messages* buffer that both are being loaded:
(emacs /home/hgp/somefile)
Loading disp-table...done
Loading tool-bar...done
Loading image...done
Loading tooltip...done
Loading ~/.emacs-custom...done
Loading skeleton...done
Loading advice...done
hello world -- from ~/.site-start.el
Loading help-fns...done
Loading bbdb-gnus...
Loading easymenu...done
Loading bbdb-gnus...done
Loading diary-lib...
Loading regexp-opt...done
Loading diary-lib...done
Preparing diary...
Loading holidays...done
Loading cal-hebrew...done
Loading cal-islam...done
Loading cal-china...done
No diary entries for Saturday, February 8, 2003
Loading ~/.abbrev_defs...done
hello world -- from ~/.emacs
(New file)
But still the line of code only works if I put it in ~/.emacs
Any one have and idea what I'm seeing here?
