Binary package hint: emacs
If I select the "Never show it again" button, before clicking on "Dismiss the startup screen", I get the following error:
forward-sexp: Scan error: "Unbalanced parentheses", 6391, 9919
I'm guessing it's in one of the Lisp files, but there is no indication which.
Version:
GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

Binary package hint: emacs
In the *scratch* buffer if you write (insert ?;) you can evaluate this Lisp code and it behaves as intended (inserts a semicolon in the current buffer) but doing M-x forward-sexp just before the expression results in an "Unbalanced parentheses" error.
--- (Somewhat edited) original bug description follows ---
When you start Emacs by dragging a file to its icon or selecting "Open with" in Konqueror or Firefox, the startup message includes an option to dismiss the startup screen, with a checkbox to inhibit it from being shown again when Emacs is invoked anew.
If I select the "Never show it again" button, before clicking on "Dismiss the startup screen", I get the following error:
forward-sexp: Scan error: "Unbalanced parentheses", 6391, 9919
This was traced to an .emacs file which Customize attempts to parse and update, but fails because it contained a literal ?; in one of the expressions.
