 '(org-export-with-LaTeX-fragments t)
 '(org-log-done (quote time))
 '(org-todo-state-tags-triggers (quote (("STARTED" ("NEXT")))))
)

I also added a new class "myarticle" to org-export-latex-classes that is the
same as "article" without the a4paper option.  I would vote for dropping the
a4paper option from the default class, and let the papersize be handled by the
local TeX customization.
