No, it does not. GNu Emacs finds there its GTK resource file. When  
you look up the variable load-path this element is not mentioned.

Different from this is the initial behaviour to look for an init.el  
file in ~/.emacs.d. This one is found. If it loads other ELisp files,  
then these have to be in load-path.
