Aloha Carsten,

I think I need to know what is meant by "minimal .emacs."

I've poked around quite a bit now and have discovered two things:

1) Two lines in Karl's org-publish-project-alist triggered the  
unexpected behavior.  These are the lines with the :include  
and :exclude keywords.
2) The unexpected behavior only occurs when org-publish-project-alist  
also contains a project of the form ("project-name" :components  
("project-name" "project-name" ...)).  Here, I've only checked the  
situation where the offending project involves sub-projects that are  
not Karl's.

I have two reservations about putting together a "minimal .emacs":

1) I'm using Eric Schulte's literate emacs starter kit, so my  
initialization files are split up into many parts, only two of which I  
fiddle with.  I'm happily ignorant of what goes on before my two org  
configuration files get processed by Eric's code.
2) The org-publish-project-alist variable in my configuration contains  
paths that are (probably) unique to my system.

That said, if a minimal .emacs is required, please give me some  
direction and I'll do what I can.

All the best,
Tom
