Is there a risk of breaking > something with this approach? The problem with adding ~/.emacs.d to your load-path is one of namespace. E.g. Gnus expects ~/.emacs.d/gnus.el to be the user's Gnus config. So if you have such a file and add ~/.emacs.d to your load-path, you'll have a conflict where (load "gnus") will load your Gnus config file rather then loading Gnus proper. You can use ~/.emacs.d/<subdir> instead. But there's (so far) no officially blessed <subdir> that we recommend. Stefan
