Hi there,

Emacs ignores ~/Emacs file at startup. Below are the relevant lines 
from strace:
--------------------------------------------
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/tomaszen_AU.utf8/Emacs", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/tomaszEmacs", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
uname({sysname="Linux", nodename="schooner", ...}) = 0
--------------------------------------------
"/home/tomaszEmacs" should clearly be "/home/tomasz/Emacs" and
"/home/tomaszen_AU.utf8/Emacs" should
be "/home/tomasz/en_AU.utf8/Emacs"

Forgotten / somewhere? 

Best regards,

Tomasz
