If you're using Aquamacs Emacs, which tries to do things "like a Mac  
OS X app", it remembers it in ~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/ 
customizations.el.

I'm not too clear on what's wrong with "~/.emacs", but Aquamacs also  
suggests that you use ~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/ 
Preferences.el instead, although it is gracious enough to load both.
