Yes, I run emacs differently on different machines. On the windows machine
I am on now, I have a shortcut that runs
C:\Users\jkitchin\Dropbox\software\emacs-24.3\bin\runemacs.exe -l
~/Dropbox/.emacs.d/init.el
On my unix machine, I do it a bit differently. There is a line in my
~/.emacs.d/init.el file that reads:
(load-file "~/Dropbox/.emacs.d/init.el")
but, I could just use an alias for that ran
emacs -l ~/Dropbox/.emacs.d/init.el
Everything else gets configured through the .emacs.d in my Dropbox folder.
FWIW, I too have occasionally had problems with conflicting files on
Dropbox, and I usually use kdiff3 to resolve them. It has a gui that works
well for me on windows and unix. I don't have this problem very often
though.
