I have a C++ write file hook to automatically untabify the whole buffer

Jgombos,

try using local-write-file-hooks, which is the buffer-local version of 
write-file-hooks,
or at least it is in XEmacs.


Failing that, see add-local-hook,

Failing that
try

(add-hook 'ctypes-load-hook
 '(lambda ()
   (c-set-style "whitesmith")
   (add-hook 'write-file-hooks
      '(lambda ()
       (if (eq major-mode 'c++-mode) (untabify-buffer))))))


Ctypes is used by C, C++, and C# modes.

IIRC, -load-hooks are only called once, when the mode is first loaded,
whereas -mode-hooks are called each time a buffer enters that mode.


HTH,
Colin S. Miller
