This variable needs to be set *before* org.el gets loaded.  So please
swap these lines, or, oven better, omit the (require 'org).  It is not 
needed since all necessary functions are autoloaded, so that org.el 
will be loaded automatically when needed.

In fact, it is a very bad habit of many package writers to make people
install their package with a require that will load the entire large 
source file.  Where did find the instruction to use (require 'org)  
Because if it is in the docs, I need to fix it.

Thanks.
