Hi Bastien,

Here is my custom agenda section. I'd like to have the DEADLINE and the
REFILE only show up if items exist in those sections, not when they are
empty. Actually, I guess I'd like this for all sections.

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("c" "My Custom Agenda"
         (
  (tags "REFILE" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "REFILE")))
  (tags-todo "+DEADLINE<=\"<+3d>\""
     (
      (org-agenda-overriding-header "Deadline <= 3 Days")
      ))
  (tags-todo "+SCHEDULED<\"<tomorrow>\""
     (
      (org-agenda-overriding-header "Scheduled Today")
      ))
          (todo "INPROGRESS" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "In Progress")))
          (todo "WAITING|VERIFY" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Waiting or
Verify")))
  (agenda "" (
      (org-agenda-overriding-header "Scheduled")
      (org-deadline-warning-days 0)
      ))
          (todo "SOMEDAY" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Someday")))
  (tags "REFILE" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "REFILE")))
  ) nil ("org.txt" "org.html" "org.ics"))))
