Hello.

I’ve found an error with Emacs app I have some trouble to find the solution to 
and I fail to find anything on the web about this, if this is a known problem, 
please point me to the description and I’ll see what I can do to correct it - 
if this really is a problem for anyone but me!

I use Emacs app (emacs23-app, 23.4-2) and when I try to open a file (C-x C-f, 
find-file) I am presented with / as the start directory instead of ~. This is 
not (from what I can tell) due to a change in Emacs but related to the 
combination of Emacs and Mavericks.

I used Emacs 23.4.1 under Mountain Lion without problem for quite some time, 
then I upgraded to Mavericks without updating Fink. I then saw the problem with 
C-x C-f starting in / when the current buffer was *scratch* upon startup, this 
is without change of binary. I then updated fink from scratch and found out 
that my new Emacs also behaved in this way. Obviously something changed in the 
OS that made Emacs change its behaviour and I am baffled at trying to find a 
solution to this annoying problem. Anyone that has seen anything similar or 
heard about it?

I am quite good at finding my ways around Emacs, but it doesn’t help when I 
don’t even know where to start - all my excursions has so far ended in dead 
ends.

How I reproduce the error:
1. Start Emacs
2. Press C-x C-f (current buffer is then *scratch*, the splash screen is turned 
off)
Works every time.

Any suggestions? I am not convinced that this is a Fink issue, but I hope there 
is someone else here that has observed the issue?

Thanks in advance!

/Jonas
