Here's a bunch of org-related settings.

OS version is Linux (Debian unstable = sid)

GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 
2007-12-15 on noname, modified by Debian
Org-mode version 5.23a++

My remember templates are pretty straight forward and taken from a
previous post on the list.  Here's a whole pile of settings from my
.emacs file...

(add-hook 'remember-mode-hook 'my-start-clock-if-needed)
(defun my-start-clock-if-needed ()
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (when (re-search-forward ":CLOCK-IN:" nil t)
       (replace-match "")
       (org-clock-in))))

(defun my-org-todo ()
  (interactive)
  (org-narrow-to-subtree)
  (org-show-todo-tree nil)
  (widen))
