After putting

	(setq ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program t)
	(setq insert-directory-program "gls")

into the site init file (/Library/Application Support/Emacs/site-start.el) GNU Emacs 24.1 now uses gls instead of ls, although the correct solution would be to use the system's ls and -dired instead of --dired. This solution obviously cannot be achieved any more. And it worked in GNU Emacs 23.4 when launched with -Q: ls seems to be found and -dired seems to be used.

A second problem exists with possible use of the variable dired-listing-switches. With GNU gls I use "-ahlN" which has to be with the system's ls "-ahlw".

Don't just do something, sit there.
