Reading the manual, how quaint. ;-) So,the manual said:
   For GNU Emacs, the recommended way to activate AUCTeX is to add the
following line to your `.emacs' file:

     (require 'tex-site)

And, this did the trick! Thanks for your help (and for not immediately 
yelling rtfm), and my apologies for not thinking to look at the manual 
in the first place. It had always just happened automagically for me 
before, so figured something was actually wrong. Apparently this line 
was not necessary in .emacs before, as I don't think I've done anything 
to my .emacs, and it use to work just fine.

cheers,
