Oh, if I'm going to get an error message I don't care which one it is.
Might as well leave things as they are currently. What I was hoping is that
you would be able to fix org-capture so that you can also call it from the
minibuffer, if enable-recursive-minibuffers is set to t. I like to think
that I can call org-capture no matter what I am doing, take a quick note or
reminder, and go back to whatever it was. It is almost like that: I can't
interrupt myself if the minibuffer is open, but I can in all other cases.
This is not a big deal, so if it's not easy to fix, just leave it as is.
But if it happens to be easy to do I think it would be worthwhile, so that
org-capture can live up to its reputation of being able to quickly capture
something /no matter what you were doing at the time/!
