It's clear, that there are billions of possibilities to load a file
named ".gnu-emacs". ;-) But the OP mentioned that `load-path' wasn't
modified, so it's suggesting to assume that the file was not loaded,
as the lisp code is correct.

FYI: What SuSE does (or at least did) is...

,----[ /etc/skel/.emacs ]

|     (progn
|       XEmacs-stuff-here)
|   (progn
|     (if (file-readable-p "~/.gnu-emacs")
|       (load "~/.gnu-emacs" nil t)
|       Emacs-stuff-here)))
`----

(no, I wouldn't recommend this)

Bye, Reiner.
