BUG? starting org-agenda-list from .emacs

BUG? starting org-agenda-list from .emacs

[Bernt Hansen]

Carsten,

I live in the agenda view.  I'm always wanting to look at that as the
first thing I do when I start Emacs.

If I add (org-agenda-list) as the last thing in my .emacs I get an error
when I try to switch to day view the very first time.  Am I missing some
other setup or is this a bug?

If I don't call org-agenda-list from .emacs and display the agenda
normally via C-a a a then d it works fine every time so I think some
initial setup is missing when going straight to org-agenda-list at
startup.

Here's the error I get:

,----
| org-agenda-check-type: Not allowed in nil-type agenda buffers
`----

The second time I hit 'd' it works fine.

| Rebuilding agenda buffer...done

You know I can't live without org-mode anymore...  My desk is clean and
my notes are all in org-mode :)

Thanks again!

Hi Bernt,

this happens because the command needs a variable that is set
by the post-command-hook in the agenda buffer.  Normally you are
issuing a command to get to the buffer, so the hook is run.  However,
in your case no command has been called yet.

As a work-around, just press d twice, or execute
any command, like a cursor motion first.

I will have this fixed in the next version, thanks for the report.

Thanks.  I've been using 'd' twice for a long time - I was just
wondering if this (potentially missing setup) is possibly the cause of
some of the other weird problems I've been seeing (like the font faces
issue that still hasn't been resolved -- I still can't reliably
reproduce this but it happens about once/day for me).

Bernt
