The dot above is a typo.
The general way to debug .emacs is to use "progressive halving".
What you do is comment out half of the file, then start emacs. If it
doesn't work you know the problem is in the enabled half, if it works
you know the problem is in the commented out half, then you reenable
half of that half. You then continue in that way.
You should use --debug-init too.
