You mean so not to interfere with batch mode Emacs and
other (?) stuff like that? Well, yeah, but just
putting Emacs in some mode and displaying some buffer
shouldn't disturb that, should it?

For example, I have this last in my .emacs:

    ;; no fanfare / init
    (setq inhibit-startup-screen t)
    (setq inhibit-startup-echo-area-message "incal")

    ;; scratch buffer
    (require 'buc)
    (setq initial-scratch-message nil)
    (let ((scratch-buffer "*scratch*"))
      (when (member scratch-buffer (buffer-names))
        (kill-buffer scratch-buffer) ))

    ;; starting point
    (call-interactively 'w3m)
    (cd "~/")
