Hi.

This is not a bug. In order to use the zone-leave-me-alone function you have to (require 'zone) first.

You should copy the file /etc/happycoders/emacs/.happyemacs file to your home dir and edit it as needed. The original file is NOT loaded when there is a .happyemacs file in your home directory. That's why the function is not (necessarily) available when your emacs.

Alternatively, just add the following to your .emacs file:

;;; -----
(if (fboundp 'zone-leave-me-alone)
  (zone-leave-me-alone))
;;; -----

Regards,
Claudio
