I didn't see the menu, so I've just gone back to try and re-create the
error. It seems that I was exiting the menu rather than selecting an
option in my haste to switch windows, so wasn't selecting anything. I
can now see that simply making the PROPERTIES drawer visible has the effect of
dimming the blocked todos once I refresh. If I refresh without making
the drawer visible they do not dim.

All the other customizations in that file are working OK. I have
(require 'pdm-org) in my .emacs and the only other items which pertain
to org-mode which come after that line are the Customize settings for
org-agenda-files (which seem to be working fine) and org-stuck-projects
(which I also have a problem with!)

I'm quite prepared to believe that I have some items in the wrong order
- I'm fairly unsophisticated in elisp terms, but I have a minimal .emacs
with (require... lines for a series of mode-specific customization
files.

I don't seem to have that variable set anywhere. Is that a problem?

Umm, let me see...

Don't think I can paste the nntp link, but on Gmane it's at:
