[O] Custom agenda skips "next" todos if deadlined/scheduled (by default)

[John Hendy]

I have a simple block agenda view that I use with a script and conky
to display as on my background. It's like so:

----------
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
    '(("e" "Export"
        ((agenda "" ((org-agenda-ndays 7)))

         (todo "next"
            ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Next Actions")))))
))
----------

I guess I must not usually use deadlines or schedules with next
actions, as when I just did, the next action stopped being shown in
that agenda view.

Here are my todo-related options from .emacs:
----------
;; todos
(setq org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled (quote future))
(setq org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines (quote far))
(setq org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done t)
(setq org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done t)
(setq org-todo-keywords '((sequence
      "todo(t)" "next(n)" "proj(p)" "|"
      "waiting(w@/@)" "done(d)" "cancelled(c@/@)")))
----------

Turning off both todo-ignore-scheduled and todo-ignore-deadlines above
produces the same effect. Removing the scheduled or deadlined date
settings from the headlines shows it in the agenda view as expected.

I also looked at the org-agenda-skip-entry-if settings... the problem
is that I want *all* next todos to show, whether scheduled, deadlined
or not. The settings seem mutually exclusive and I'm not sure what the
default is. I did verify that using
=org-agenda-entry-types'(:deadline)= works... I'm not sure why I need
to do this. I assumed the default is that I want to see *all* of my
listed entry types and only use a skip or limiting function if I want
to.


Thanks,
