What is the mechanism behind it?
What is the behaviour when you launch GNU Emacs with '-u <your login  
name>'?
What is the behaviour when you launch GNU Emacs with '-l <some rather  
empty Emacs Lisp file, for example a message>'?
Is it possible to use a shell script as GNU Emacs entry which  
launches GNU Emacs?
