cal-tex-cursor commands leave empty fields

[Sven Bretfeld <sven.bretfeld@relwi.unibe.ch>]

Hi to all and a Happy New Year

I'm starting to become an Emacs fundamentalist at the moment, but my
understanding of elisp is still quite low.

I was configuring the calendar/diary today when I met a problem. The
commands cal-tex-cursor-month (day, week etc.) give me a nice LaTeX
output but without any entries from my diary. Just empty fields.

The problem might depend on my redefinition of the diary file to
~/.diary instead of ~/diary since I like my home folder to be as tidy
as possible. Writing and displaying entries works. Only the LaTeX
output seems to have problems. To redefine the diary file I inserted:

(setq diary-file "~/.diary")

to my .emacs file. This cannot be completely wrong, can it?

Any idea?

I give the relevant part of my .emacs file at the end of this mail.

Thanks for help,
Sven
