However, Globe Trotter, just one more idea, for one project that I worked on I had three different configurations for emacs. I created a button in the systen tray (KDE) for each one and then right clicked on each one and customized the command line with the options required; i.e. emacs -fn 10x20 -bg black -fg white etc .etc. Those button launchers ignore any system defaults.
