Well, I'm perversely happy that this isn't too easy.

I have Aquamacs in the Dock, but have it set to launch as a Startup 
Item, and I don't normally kill it unless I'm logging out (which isn't 
often).  I basically live in emacs....

It may be time to completely hide all my old configuration and go back 
to stock emacs (shudder) just on the off chance something in there is 
responsible....
