Yes.

That's what I would have thought.

This is the way it is on both my Debian sid systems.  On both these 
systems .emacs.d contains the directory auto-save-list both of which are 
owned by root.

On this, my home system, I just removed .emacs.d and reinstalled emacs.  
Now there is no .emacs.d.  I don't understand how .emacs.d would have 
been owned by root on two different systems since I would never do it 
that way.

I will work on this and get back to the list.

I am still concerned why AU 2.2.1 doesn't seem to make sense.

Thanks,
