Eric,

I'm giving starter-kit a workout. I tried to use your workaraound for the color-theme loading error by downloading version 6.6.0 into the ~/.emacs.d/src directory, assuming that it would go to the front of the load-path. But it comes after, so emacs tries to load the elpa version anyway.

Also, can't just delete the elpa version because starter-kit insists on loading it on start up as part of the core.

Seems that it should not be part of the core. I've always had problems with it, but have high hopes for emacs 24, so I want to try it.

Also seems that src and its subdirecories, recursively, should go to the front of the load-path so they override anything from elpa.

Still having fun.

Thanks, Eric,

Dan Doherty
